I haven't heard of NS supporting DNSSEC, and there haven't been any good resources to find a registrar who *does*, but this popped up recently:

http://www.icann.org/en/topics/dnssec/deploy-en.htm

. . . and NS isn't on that list. FWIW, DynDNS does a fine job (that's who we've chosen), GoDaddy works okay too (though I think there are many other reasons to avoid using them) and I've heard good things about GKG.
