If you want the table/clustered index to make use of the partitioning then yes you will need to rebuild it. If you want other non-clustered indexes to make use of the partitioning then yes you will need to rebuild them. If you want other non-clustered indexes to remain intact then no you will not need to rebuild them.If you are rebuilding the clustered index then, for performance reasons, you may want to drop the other existing indexes first and rebuild them, using whichever file group/partition scheme you desire, after the cluster is built. It might make the rebuilding go faster.
