It works on Windows 2000 and XP, I don't know about NT 4.0.

The Short answer is no - due to the Direct X 8.0 requirement.

Not so fast, Civ2MP and ToT both ran fine on NT 4.0 despite requiring Dirext 5.0 or higher. The only DirectX component used was actually Directplay. Civ2MP didn't need anything else.

The game will not allow you to install under NT. If you could figure out a method of bypassing the OS check then you could maybe install it, but I am not sure if it would actually run.

Some hacks in the registry would do the trick, but that's only for the brave. You could try installing it under W98 and try running it under NT afterwards.
Note this might also require copy&pasting a few registry lines to NT or a Civ3crack (easier and safer).
