It is sufficient. Tested in a clean chroot.

Setting up libdebian-dpkgcross-perl (2.6.13) ...
Setting up dpkg-cross (2.6.13) ...
root@sylvester:/home# apt-get remove libdebian-dpkgcross-perl dpkg-cross     
...
Setting up libdebian-dpkgcross-perl (2.6.15) ...
Setting up cross-config (2.6.15) ...
Setting up dpkg-cross (2.6.15) ...
root@sylvester:/home# 

also tested with just cross-config installed on removed dpkg-cross:

Unpacking cross-config (2.6.15) ...
Setting up cross-config (2.6.15) ...
root@sylvester:/home# 

ii  cross-config                  2.6.15              all                 autotools support for cross-compilation
rc  dpkg-cross                    2.6.13              all                 tools for cross compiling Debian packages
rc  libdebian-dpkgcross-perl      2.6.13              all                 functions to aid cross-compiling Debian packages
