You mean for you own client? No. I have successfully downloaded files
with DHT in the past that weren't available via tracker anymore or the
tracker didn't respond (and where the P2P sites showed "0/0
seeders/leechers). The file just needs to have "some" distribution, so it
eventually gets found in the DHT client cloud.
If you mean that in general, yes, there have to be a few clients initially
that can connect to a tracker because finding that one client that starts
the seeding without a tracker may take a long time or fail.
