My understanding is that NTL passes the client IP via a standard protocol and MediaWiki simply interprets it in the standard manner. The only place where it gets hairy is that, as I understand it, some anonymizing proxies also use this protocol and forward a spoofed IP, so you do need to maintain a list of proxies that can be trusted.
