For most species of cats, and in most cases, no; cat's ears have guard hairs to keep most foreign matter out, and are largely self-cleaning. In some cases, notably ear mite infestations, and conditions that cause an excess production of ear wax, cleaning may be needed, and a vet should handle that. Some breeds, such as the Cornish Rex, lack guard hairs and may need their ears cleaned occasionally; that should also be handled by a vet.

My cats ears smell does that mean he is sick?
More than likely if there is a bad odor coming from the ears it either has an ear infection of some sort or ear mites. Either will need a look/check by your vet to determine just what is wrong and to give you the appropriate medication. A cat's ears that are healthy should have little to no odor.....it's a sure sign something is wrong.
