NTLM is a proprietary protocol designed by Microsoft. Currently, I know that Jakarta Commons-HttpClient project is able to support NTLM authentication. CVSGrab, for example, is using HttpClient to make HTTP connection, and hence it also implicitly support NTLM.
I don't know how many proxy servers out there in the world is configured with NTLM authentication. I do hope enough people can support me to make the NTLM feature possible in Maven. Otherwise, people like me who is behind such proxy server would not be able to enjoy the benefits of Maven.

If I knew what NTLM authentication was and several users requested it then possibly but no one else has raised the issue. -- jvz.
