No, just upgrade the binaries and bounce your cluster.

The "general rule" on this is here:
http://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning
To quote from that page:
| Upgrading to a minor release does not require a dump and restore;

The release notes for the most recent minor release for each
supported major release is available from the main PostgreSQL page:
http://www.postgresql.org/
In this case, the release notes page is:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/release-9-0-2.html
which says:
| E.1.1. Migration to Version 9.0.2
|
| A dump/restore is not required for those running 9.0.X.
