No you don't. It's a comment, so anything within it is simply text as
far as any non-IE browser or parser is concerned, so it makes no
difference whether you use the slash or not.
One could in fact argue that the slash should *never* be used, as the
code within the comment is *only* interpreted by Internet Explorer, and
as IE doesn't support XHTML it makes little sense to include thu
trailing slash in IE-specific code that is actually treated as comment
text by anything else.
