Just as a comment from our porting of sage on Gentoo, the most recent versions of ntl are gf2x enabled on Gentoo. We build the rest of sage with it without problems and I don't think it causes any tests to fails.
If you question is about what to rebuild once you have enabled gf2x in ntl. For ntl you would have to modify spkg-install, it should be trivial. For a list of what needs rebuilding look at spkg/standard/deps and search for everything that depends on ntl.
