Yes, it is possible to do this since NDMP backup really only wraps
around BSD dump.  You would need to find the starting file (which I have
not yet had to do with NBU but I could tell you what it is in
BudTool....) and just do a restore; BSD restore that is, not NBU.

Another option, but a limited one, is to nfs mount the filer and back it
up from the master/media.
