Yes it is, but I think that if you put a ND filter on the front of a TTL
flash the output will be regulated for giving the correct exposure (no
contrast control), that�s the way the TTL goes, the camera read the
exposure, is like if you were trying to underexposure a photo using a ND
filter on the lens of the camera, autoexposure will compesate it. 
Yes contrast control works with the RTF and a external flash, but I
think you�ll need the sincro cable. 
All the ways I think the better option is using main flash in ttl and
slave one in AUTO.

Emilio, that's what I am asking about :) But of course with ND filters
I mean using TWO flashes in ttl multiflash, one with no ND, the other
with ND filter. The Metz brochure on the ND filters for their flashes
seems to say (If I understand the German correctly) that you can get
sort of "contrast control" effect by using ND filter on one of the
two flashes only (which, in a way, makes sense). But I am not sure of
it.

Also, contrast control works only with one flash and the RTF, no?

good light,
