If you are using the Bitcoin-Qt wallet? Yes.
You may be interested in one of the "lightweight" wallets that don't require you to maintain/synchronize the blockchain. If so, look into:

The block chain is the transfer history, so if it's not up to date your transfer may be listed in the blockchain, but you cannot see it yet.
The free-Bitcoin sites often send the BTC after a day or even a week (and some not at all).

I opened a bitcoin qt wallet and have 98% of the block chain downloaded. I sent a transfer to my wallet from mtgox. I also participated in the freeebie sites. I open my wallet and have a grand total of zero coins. Am I missing something or does it actually take a long time to receive my coins.
