Only if you're using the current CVS version of Ethereal, as the
configure script is built by autoconf from configure.in, and is not part
of the CVS tree.

If you've downloaded a standard source release of Ethereal, you don't
need autoconf (unless you'll be changing configure.in, acinclude.m4,
etc.).
