Since grub is located in the MBR and probably has the other files it needs on your linux /boot partition, then no it shouldn't be a problem

i use xp on ntfs file system and use grub as well. grub is just a choosing program and has nothing to do with fat32 or ntfs. you can convert to ntfs wihout any problems
