A general guideline is that the rear is much more affected by a drop on 6th gen Accords than the front, and that a drop of 1.5 or more will most likely be enough to knock the rear out of spec, and that a drop of 2.0 or lower will most likely result in both front and rear being out of spec.
Do you have to do camber adjustment when it's out of spec? No...it just depends on your motives (autocross performance, tire life, etc), and your tolerances for tire wear. There are plenty of guys that use a sport drop and have no camber adjustment that get along fine, others get at least a rear kit.
Personally I went 20K miles on a set of summer performance tires with my rear being out of spec, just made sure the toe was good. I've since got a rear SPC camber kit to extend some tire life, and have used that for about 15K miles or so.
Like 98CoupeV6 said, it's a good idea no matter what to make sure the toe is good...that'll eat tires faster than a little negative camber.
