It is enabled:
CONFIG_NTFS3_FS=m
# CONFIG_NTFS3_64BIT_CLUSTER is not set
CONFIG_NTFS3_LZX_XPRESS=y
CONFIG_NTFS3_FS_POSIX_ACL=

The disabled CONFIG_NTFS_FS and CONFIG_NTFS_RW is for the old NTFS implementation.

Thanks for clarifying and providing the link, loqs. Caught me as I did not define the type when mounting:

# mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt
mount: /mnt: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs'.

But this works:
# mount -t ntfs3 /dev/sdb4 /mnt
