I should think not given they're about the most neutral country on the planet!
Not even sure they'd do much to support a UN resolution/action.

According to Wiki, the US acted first to chose to let the treaty lapse in June 1987, a year
after the US suspended their own obligation to assist NZ militarily.
Only in 2006, with the US linking free trade between NZ and the US with nuclear powered and/or armed ships being allowed back into NZ ports has there been even a mention of renewing the alliance. IRL this finally occurred in 2010, 25 years after the initial split, however it was later revealed some military co-operation had resumed in 2007.
So, unless there was a radical change of the political situation in New Zealand which caused them to
want to renew the alliance, it doesn't seem likely in T2K - it was after all the US who apparently pushed the issue leaving NZ to either agree, or potentially suffer economically.
