I don't believe any NDA morally binds you to tell the truth.   You can 
lie.  Say "No" whether you are under an NDA or not.

IBM may have several different flavor of such things, but as far as I 
know IBM calls them "Confidential Disclosure Agreement" - CDA.
So you could truthfully say youu are not under an NDA.

The only kind of CDA I've seen has been the kind relating to ESPs &
Beta programs.  Under those I was not supposed to mention that 
the program existed ... even in PMRs for the currently supported 
product!  (My Extra Sensory Perception tells me this bug will still 
exist in the next release.) 

Sometimes the restriction make no sense, but they should still be
followed.
