  No, NNTP is enabled by default, in fact you cannot even disable it
  with a configure option.

  To the OP: the NNTP option has been removed from the "Create new
  account" option, probably because this option is used as a kind of
  wizard on first run setup and is not useful to setup a news account
  as a primary one for sending mail. You have to go "Configuration/Edit
  accounts...", "Add" button to be able to select NNTP as the protocol.
