Yes, you can root after accepting the OTA. You will have to decide yourself on which root method to use. They are easy to find in the Developement section.
If you have root before update, download voodoo OTA root keeper. Run it before upgrade. After upgrade, use it to restore root. Just remember you have to be on stock recovery for update to apply.

There are a few ways. Check my sig I find this way works good. YMMV. Jump in the water is fine.

Hey guys, I plan on Rooting my device using motochopper later today. The steps ate easy, but I wanted to know if I could still get Ota updates?

Would think there would be a Root available for this phone by Now, as Kit Kat has been out a few months Now.
Nope

But only a couple weeks for our phone...theres plenty of kitkat phones that have root, even many of the sgs4 variants have root, its our locked bootloader that makes it hard

Correct. Most other s4 variants achieved root by flashing a custom recovery. Thanks to the locked bootloader we can't use that method. A vulnerability has to be found that allows us to write superuser to the system.

I know that I cannot update OTA to NB1 because my phone is rooted. I have Supersu with survival mode. Is there a way to get the OTA update to go through without failing, or do I have Odin to NB1 stock?

I would Odin the nb1. But there is no root method for it if that is a concern of yours
