Probably not. The worst thing that is likely to happen is the filesystem on the hard drive will become corrupt, forcing a filesystem repair or OS reinstall. The hardware is probably not damaged.
IMPROVED:
Hardware is almost never damaged by hard shutdowns, do there's no worry there. However the software may be damaged. If everything is acting fine, then no worries. If there are still problems, however, you may need to reinstall or repair the filesystem or OS.
Frequent freezing, crashing, etc. may be sign of a hardware problem, usually unrelated to hard shutdowns. IE, you didn't cause it to fail, it was failing already and that's what caused it to freeze and require a hard shutdown in the first place.
