Mina does not need spring at all. But you can use Spring with Mina if
you want. As trustin said, Spring is just a IoC container
(http://www.springframework.org/)

It is.
We use it in Apache Directory Server, which itself use Spring to manage
the server configuration, but we can perfectly well get rid of Sping if
needed.
Use Spring to manage the server configuration? Is it neccessary?
Spring and Mina are two frameworks, one targetting IOC, and the other
one dedicated to network handling.

Well, Spring is basically a IoC (or DI) container. It's not directly
related with web application development. Of course, it provides many
bells and whistles which enable rapid web application development, but
it doesn't mean that Spring container itself is not suitable for MINA
applications. It can work with virtually any type of applications
such as a Swing GUI application.
