apparently not. from http://distcc.samba.org/

"distcc does not require all machines to share a filesystem, have
synchronized clocks, or to have the same libraries or header files
installed. Machines can be running different operating systems, as long
as they have compatible binary formats or cross-compilers. 


I'm just getting started with distcc, and so far I only have four
machines on my farm, but wow what a difference! I was actually more
shocked by how easy it was to get it all set up! -- A happy user"
