No you don't. Versions of MySql lower than 4.1 do not have build in utf-8 support. However, Joomla! 1.5 has made provisions for backward compatibility and is able to use utf-8 on older databases. Let the installer take care of all settings and there is no need to make any changes to the database (charset, collation or any other).
