I don't think so... I learned to use Webalizer about 3 years ago and
ever since I can remember it's given me those stats - pretty sure I've
never messed with the default config either. 
You do need to make sure your Apache logs are set up to log referrers.

Relevant (?) snippets of config files in question follow:

## Begin httpd.conf
# The following directives define some format nicknames for use with
# a CustomLog directive (see below).
#
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\""
combined
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" common
LogFormat "%{Referer}i -> %U" referer
LogFormat "%{User-agent}i" agent
                                                                                                                    
## Begin webalizer.conf
# The SearchEngine keywords allow specification of search engines and
# their query strings on the URL.  These are used to locate and report
# what search strings are used to find your site.  The first word is
# a substring to match in the referrer field that identifies the search
# engine, and the second is the URL variable used by that search engine
# to define it's search terms.
