Dear Heidi,
The diffusion calculations (dtifit and bedpost) are performed in the native space, so without any registration. Once these are done and you have registrations done (which can all be done via the GUI) then you can use masks in MNI space when you perform tractography, and probtrack will be able to move the masks between the spaces for you.
All the best,
Mark
