No, the Fedora kernels never supported NTFS (not by any FC 1 or FC 2
kernel). The fact that the Linux kernel source does contain the code for
building an NTFS module does not imply it is supported by Fedora
kernels.

The correct way is described by Arjan ("the Fedora kernel guy") in:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=129377#c3

Rebuilding the whole kernel or at least running through a whole rebuild
of all modules is a waste of time.
