No.  I built Asterisk 10 from source.  Once I installed spandsp, the 
menuconfig had the option of installing "app_fax".

Downloaded and built from source from 
http://soft-switch.org/downloads/spandsp/

It builds easy.

Well, the Digium one isn't always limited to 1 channel, just 1 channel 
for the free version.  And honestly, if you can get T.38 support it will 
make your life a lot easier.  Faxing over VOIP is hit & miss.  Doing 
T.38 Fax over IP makes faxing a lot more reliable.
