Yes, he supported it, but the fact is that if he hadn't signed it, he would have been backing the US out of a trade pact we had already signed.

In December 1992 NAFTA was signed by the leaders of the three countries—Brian Mulroney of Canada, Carlos Salinas de Gortari of Mexico, and George H. W. Bush of the United States. Despite approval from national leaders, the agreement would not be made effective until the legislatures in all three countries had also voted to accept it.

Clinton signed the ratification by Congress. It was Bush that signed the agreement itself.
