I use duplicity 0.6.20 (centos 5), duplicity 0.6.22 (centos 6)

If i replace Gzip to Pigz

mv /bin/gzip /bin/gzip.bak
ln -s /usr/bin/pigz /bin/gzip

duplicity uses

- gpg's encryption feature unless --no-encryption is given
- python's gzip capabilities unless --no-compression is given (be aware that --no-compression is currently broken)

to answer your question - no.

PS: consider updating your duplicity to the latest release 0.6.25 fixing several bugs
