You may want to look into MacFUSE and the NTFS3G driver for it... I have been using it for the last several releases with my NTFS formatted Bootcamp drive and WindowsXP Pro very successfully. Its not hard to setup (comes with a nice installer) seems to play nice with the OS X apps.
Only small issue I have had with it was copying a lot of files to the NTFS drive in which it gives some obscure error. Doing smaller numbers of files seems to fix this. I haven't had any file loss or corruption yet. (Your milage may vary...) It is certainly worth looking into.
