No, except organizational - you might want to use different file systems or different file system parameters on each partition/slice, you might want to distribute data so that if one file system gets full (for example, with logs) the others are not affected, etc. There was a pretty long list of organizational benefits of partitioning on the questions- mailing list recently. But from a system point of view, no - partitioning is not required.
