Not according to the documentation I find here:

http://docs.plt-scheme.org/reference/contracts.html

Constants are perfectly acceptable contracts.  If the contract?
function doesn't accept them, then either contract? needs to start
accepting them or or/c needs to be documented with a more general
contract.  But values like #f, 'foo, or 5 are usable with most
contract primitives.
