No, you can use a mix. The Mac Pro has six memory channels. For the absolute
fastest performance, you'd want to have 3 matched DIMMs in slots 1, 2, and 3, and 3 matched DIMMs in slots 5, 6, and 7.
However, if you want 8 DIMMs instead of 6, you can do that as well. Slots 3 and 4 will share a channel and slots 7 and 8 will too. This will only slightly reduce performance, but the added performance of having those extra GBs of RAM will most likely offset that.
