Nope! Just create the freespace at the start of the disk using
Partition Magic (shrink the existing C partition by a cylinder or 1
meg, whichever is the smaller, then shift it up to move the free space
from after it to before it). Then boot up using the OS/2 install disks
and get into FDISK (select advanced install) and from FDISK you can
configure Boot Manager in the free space.
You need to use Advanced Install to install OS/2 to anything other
than the C drive.
