No, it doesn't. It's mostly the binary installs for various platforms  
(VMware, OS X, linux) plus documentation. Everything (and more) can  
be downloaded for free from the site--the DVD is primarily for people  
who find that large of a download prohibitive (and some people like  
having a physical disk).

Note that it has not yet been updated to Sage 4.0, which has some  
very significant improvements with regards to symbolics.
