Sorry, no. NT does not defragment itself while it's running. The difference that
I believe you're thinking about is that it actually "thinks" about where the
best place for a new file would be, as apposed to FAT using first available
cluster.

NTFS gets worse fragmentation that FAT, since when you install to a new NTFS
partition, the size of clusters it creates are 512 bytes, which is WAYYY to
small. 2K/4K is a good size for decent performance.

and it's served me well on my workstations and servers.
