I'm not an nTop expert by any stretch, but from what I know nTop was not designed for such functions and would likely take a fair amount of external scripting add the functionality desired.
If I'm not mistaken Ethereal supports various pattern matching, triggers, actions, etc. I'm not certain of this, but would be a good place to start. If you have Cisco gear (perhaps other vendors as well) there's a number of ways to address this, some better than others of course.

For example, if it detects the use of MSN messenger from ip x.x.x.x it alerts the network admin, or it starts an external script. Can ntop do such a work?
