If your site is bog standard and doesn't try to push the css envelope then no, you won't need to use conditional statements. If you want to serve curative style rules to IE then conditional statments are imperative so you can leave your stylesheet devoid of hacks.

Having said that, just because you design using stylesheets does not mean you get cross browser compatibility. Stylesheets are just a means of separating design from content. One could just as easily design a site using what i wish were already deprecated font tags and tables and still achieve cross browser compatibility. This was essentially my point when i made my first post.
