I have Cane Creek sealed bearing headsets on three of my bikes, and no, the Cane Creek instructions have never mentioned greasing the cups and races. However, one of the popular maintenance books (Zinn? Park? Bicycling?) does recommend a light layer of grease, from what I remember.

I can't say for sure if it's necessary, but I use a little grease and have suffered no ill effects.
