That's what I heard. There are definitely still some NDB approaches around, but I think they're becoming rarer and rarer at airports that have airline service. The dinky GA airport I fly out of still has an active ADF station on the field with two NDB approaches. It's kind of sad to see them go. They may not be the most precise approach out there (by any means of the term), but they are fun and are really great for honing those IFR skills.
