No. The old answer for this is here,
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorFAQ#WhydoweneedPolipoorPrivoxywithTorWhichisbetter

The current answer is that Aurora/Firefox 6 and newer use SOCKS correctly
and do not leak DNS queries. Other applications you may use with Tor may
leak DNS requests. The Vidalia Message log will generally report these
leaks correctly.
