Yes, it is possible. All you need to do is supply the
filesystem type(ntfs) to mkpart. So, mkpart PART-TYPE ntfs START END.
Here is the help from mkpart.
mkpart PART-TYPE [FS-TYPE] START END make a partition
PART-TYPE is one of: primary, logical, extended
FS-TYPE is one of: ext3, ext2, fat32, fat16, hfs, jfs, linux-swap, ntfs,
reiserfs, hp-ufs, sun-ufs, xfs
START and END are in megabytes. Negative values count from the end of
the disk.
mkpart makes a partition without creating a new file system on the
partition. FS-TYPE may be specified to set an appropriate partition
ID.
