At the moment I don't think it is a major problem, but I'm not sure 
about all possible participants (see e.g., 
http://www.msoworld.com/mindzine/news/scandals/scandal0400.html).

The current Go programs are still weak and the stakes are not very high 
(no million dollar prices at the moment). However, as computers will get 
stronger in the future I think the atmosphere between (some) 
participants may become less friendly. In this context it is interesting 
to consider that the World Computer Chess Championship is still played 
manually over the board.

Of course there are technical solutions to overcome most problems, but I 
suspect that they will significantly increase the burden on the 
organizers. (The tournament director may have to be an expert in Go 
rules, network communication protocols, and security issues!)
