Not exactly.
Ipchains will be active but then it needs to be configured.
By far the easiest firewall utility that 'front-ends' for 
Ipchains is Pmfirewall. 
http://www.pmfirewall.com/PMFirewall/

You'll need to be careful when you run through the PM install
and have a rudimentary knowledge of which ports and IP's you 
want to deny or allow. 

As many have mentioned before in other posts a good base start at
securing your server is:

Portsentry
LogCheck
PMFirewall
Ipchains
TripWire
SSH: Updated
Bind: Updated
ProFTPd: Updated
