Hardly. OS X is inherently more secure than Windows right out of the box.
It was basically written from scratch using a FreeBSD (Unix) kernal - there just aren't as many places for malware to hide in OS X as compared to Windows.
Plus the fact that you're not going to have a virus or trojan be able to self-install on a OS X machine.
An old, but relevant and interesting read on the subject
