Not directly. The tagger is entirely independent of the dictionaries. The fine tags (the tags coming from the dictionary) need to have corresponding coarse tags (the tags used by the tagger) that are sufficient to disambiguate the text. Coarse tags group together equivalent fine tags, which helps to alleviate the data sparseness problem: not all words occur in all contexts, so we group them together so that what we know about classes of words applies to all words in that class. The coarse tags should be as broad as possible, but not too broad - if two word forms match the same coarse tag, then that tag needs to be split, for example.
