No. Binding to 0.0.0.0 is the default, listen on all available
interfaces.

Transparent proxying using ipfwadm, ipfilter or another network
translation tool is a different issue. Here you have to force the host
to accept ANY destination as local... If using ipfilter then Squid needs
to be listening on the interface where the traffic is redirected, if
using ipfwadm then Squid needs to be listening on 127.0.0.1.. The
default 0.0.0.0 is fine in all cases.
