It's not so much about whether you have sub-interfaces or not but whether
you have PIM adjacencies on a multi-access interface. If all your spokes are
on point-to-point sub-interfaces, you don't need it. If you have multiple
PIM adjacencies on a physical frame-relay (NBMA) or a multipoint
subinterface, then you use it on whichever interface is being used for
multicast.
