No, you only need the NetworkManager vpnc connector and an install of
vpnc.

It should check both /usr/sbin and /sbin for vpnc.  What you can do to
test stuff out a bit is to, as root, run:

/usr/bin/nm-vpnc-service

Then try to use the menu to connect to your VPN.  nm-vpnc-service should
spit out some errors to the terminal telling you what's wrong.  Can you
paste those into a reply to this email?

Thanks!
