No, you don't need another NIC. Think of your OpenVZ host system as a router with a network segment of VPSs behind it. While each VPS have a distinct IP address, they all are routed via host system, thus the only MAC address visible from the outside is the on of the host system.

Still, with OpenVZ you can add another NIC and dedicate it for a VPS if you do really need it (but in most of the cases you don't).
