Unlikely.

An analysis of the on-disk layout of NTFS can be found here:
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/ntfs/help/layout.html

According to the documentation these guys have written, the only piece
of data that cannot be moved is the $Boot file. In theory, you should be
able to relocate everything else on the filesystem. There are probably
good reasons why you can't do this in practice, however.
