To the best of my knowledge, the answer is "no." The Bureau of Diplomatic Security does not list any polygraph requirement amongst its hiring criteria for special agent applicants:

Moreover, the State Department's polygraph policy mentions no pre-employment polygraph requirement for any job position:
