No, NT4-domain and realm are different and I don't think you can
actually set the realm that way.

NT4-domain has a few names, 'workgroup' or 'netbiosname' being the two
main ones. 
realm is always the domain name in uppercase.

You should either have seen this:

No realm specified in smb.conf file and being a DC. That upgrade path
doesn't work! Please add a 'realm' directive to your old smb.conf to
let us know which one you want to use (it is the DNS name of the AD
domain you wish to create.

Or this:

No realm specified in smb.conf file, assuming '%s' (with '%s' being
replaced with the dns domain name)

If you are unsure just which REALM name you are using, it will be shown
in the krb5.conf file the upgrade created, or you could run:

ldbedit -e nano -H /usr/local/samba/private/sam.ldb

This will display the entire AD database and your realm will be the
last part of any 'dn' and will be something like:

DC=samdom,DC=example,DC=com
