No.

While it would be helpful, I've practically learnt Magento from not knowing anything beyond Python and C#. Programming knowledge and HTML/CSS knowledge is useful, but you don't need to know the in's and out's of the framework to be able to use it.

It is not necessarily required to learn the Zend Framework before. But it sure helps if you understand the general paradigm of Model View Controller (MVC) to get a better grasp of the system. While Magento relies heavily on the Zend Framework, it does things its own way in many aspects, so if you want to learn Magento, I would recommend diving right into learning Magento and learning Zend framework on the way where appropriate. Good in depth tutorials to get started as a developer are:
