No - any old programmer will do, if the only fuse affected is the
setting from internal to external oscillator. But if the chips been
configured for an external oscillator then you need an external clock
source.

However, there are fuses (like SPIEN) that can't be enabled via serial
programming once they've been disabled. I'd imagine that some of the
lock bits may also prevent serial programming.
