I don't think so.

K&R, 2nd Ed. page 102:
"Pointers and integers are not interchangeable. Zero is the sole
exception: the constant zero may be assigned to a pointer, and a
pointer may be compared with the constant zero. The symbolic constant
NULL is often used in place of zero, as a mnemonic to indicate that
this is a special value for a pointer"

I think it's quite explicit: the NULL macro expands to 0.
