No, this is not possible. You may file an enhancement request, or add comment 
to http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=58362 (which is close to 
your idea). We don't have a detailed spec yet of how keyboard moving should 
work (especially together with the "snap" feature).

It is because NetBeans runs in different look&feel than the program when 
executed - thus different default font. You'd have to run NetBeans on the same 
look&feel, or change it in your program - perhaps you could try:

UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName())
