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.
