Yes, for the control port (which, even if GigE is used for SDR to PC 
or other external processor would be separate).  On the control 
channel, you'd need PTT, signal detect (syllabic squelch would be 
nice), mode/VFO signalling and audio both ways. :) IP enables routing 
over standards based networks, if the distance is longer than across 
the house.  And even around the house, I already have IP based infrastructure.

And if you're asking "Why not interface the controlling PC?"  My 
answer is, yes, the PC might be the appropriate device to link to, 
BUT eventually, when the right boards come out, I want to have my SDR 
to be able to operate independently of a PC.
