Not necessarily. There is no word or phrase in English that requires a comma. More importantly, however, avoid contractions and abbreviations in formal writing. Instead, use " and so forth," or " and the rest."
Typically, the abbreviation etc. is used to denote the continuation of a series. As the elements of a series are separated by commas, then yes, a comma is called for in front of etc. For example, in the sentence below:
I like all sorts of fruit: blueberries, strawberries, watermelon, etc.
