No, if you have a suspended license in Pennsylvania you will not be able to obtain a driver's license in North Carolina. Under state and federal law, if another state says your license there is revoked or suspended, you must clear your name before North Carolina can issue you a new license or even renew a NC driver's license.

All states check with the National Driver Register (NDR) and thus will find that your license has been suspended in Pennsylvania.

The NDR is a central database of information on problems drivers, meaning motorists, whose license is revoked, suspended, canceled or denied or has been convicted of a serious traffic related offense. All 51 US jurisdictions provide information to the NDR and can search the database for information on drivers applying for a driver's license.

The North Carolina DOT's Division of Motor Vehicles states that if you have just recently moved to North Carolina and are applying for your original North Carolina driver's license your valid, unexpired "out-of-state" driver's license with photo counts as one form of identification.

You can contact the NC DMV to see what will be required of you to get a driver's license in North Carolina. Likely you will need to deal with your issues in PA and get that license reinstated before North Carolina will issue you a license.
