Well, yes and no. The reason why we have a leap year here on Earth is because the ancient Egyptians arbitrarily divided the day into 24 hours. We kept this convention and determined that it takes Earth 365 days to make one revolution around the sun (one year.) Adding an extra day to the calendar every four years compensates for the fact that a period of 365 days is shorter than a solar year by almost 6 hours. If we didn't add that extra day, our seasons would become more and more "off" of what we actually experience each year.
Since we are able to determine the precise length of one Martian year (or one revolution around the sun,) we could easily calculate a precise calendar in which the calendar year exactly models the solar year, and the leap year is unnecessary. If we want a Martian day to contain an even number of hours, it will most likely need to have a leap year since I doubt a multiple number of Earth days is exactly one Martian year.
