You will need to add external hardware if you want to support I2C; you will also need to ensure that there is at least one licensed I2C component in the system. How much hardware is needed will depend upon many factors, but the primary consideration is that unless you add hardware support there is no way a PIC can keep up with a master that's running at full speed and be able to do anything else practical.
