That depends. If you are just wanting to use espeak itself, for the
purpose of making wave files out of text files for example, then no,
you shouldn't need anything else. If however, you're wanting to use
espeak as a software TTS engine for use with speakup, then you
definitely need more then espeak, you would need speech-dispatcher,
and speechd-up besides espeak for use with speakup. While all of this
isn't too tough to setup if you read the docs and follow instructions
to the letter, I would say that it isn't a walk in the park either,
especially for a newby. 

All the possible issues you might run into while setting all of this
up have been covered here in the past at various times, sometimes more
then once. So, looking through the list archives would be the best
thing to do if you have issues that the documentation for all of these
packages doesn't address.

You can find speech-dispatcher and speechd-up at:

http://www.freebsoft.org

. You can also install speech-dispatcher as a debian package from the
main debian repository, and a debian package of speechd-up can be
found in the grml package repository, for which I don't remember the
URL off the top of my head, and I'm currently not at the system where
I have that URL stored.
