To Sun,

The short answer is no, geotools does not support NTV2 (or 1). If it
did, the math transform would be in the referencing module, beside the
NADCON transform (a similar NAD27 to NAD83 datum shift method used in
the USA).

I looked into adding NTV2 many years ago (there may even be an email on
the devel list about it somewhere), but while the people at Natural
Resources Canada were very helpful, they were not at that time setup to
license to an open source project. I think there is a fee to license the
NTV2 files (which you are then allowed to distribute), and various
agreements need to be signed to guarantee to them that your
implementation is correct. Now that Geotools is under the OSGeo
Foundation, getting this licensing sorted out should be much easier.
