I don't think it takes more skill than doing it on a freewheel bike, it takes different skill. There's different timing involved: one must synchronize the hop with one's pedal stroke.
For the past few weeks I've been on a road bike and at first I found bunny hopping to be very difficult until I got the timing down pat. I guess the problem with doing it on a fixie is that you may not have the time/distance to wait for your pedals to be in the right place if an emergency presents itself. That's what happened last summer when I went down.
