It's not absolutely necessary, if that's what you're asking. It is however a good idea. You won't get any logging without syslogd, and the default cron setup with FreeBSD takes care of a lot of "system cleanup/maintanance" issues. If I were you, I'd leave both of them turned on. Neither is taking up a substantial amount of CPU time, and the benefits of leaving them on far outweigh the benefits of turning them off.
