I don't think so. In my little test setup I didn't have to make any change to the slave.
The "update" and "clobber" mode parameters are implemented on the slave side. Trent's patch changes which mode setting is used on the master side before anything is sent to the slaves, so the slaves don't have to know anything about it.
In general there is as little slave-side code as possible, to reduce the need to upgrade or change the code on that side. The VC checkout/update operations are an exception, since they may do several operations in a row (which would mean a lot more latency to do them without support from code on the slave side), and because I'm lazy and prefer to implement the algorithms in Python instead of in Bourne shell :).
