Security and Sensor placement are always open to debate. I will say this Ntop has no problem collecting traffic from a "Stealth Interface". Thats an interface with no assigned IP address. I've done this on both Linux and Solaris.
Other then that you have to consider how and who can connect to the Ntop interface (port 3000 or 3001 by default), Iptables under Linux are good for controlling this.
