No, there isn't.

I've deleted the initial admin account on all of my personal machines 
and created a new admin with a different UID (I nfs mount directories 
from my linux boxes and it's easier to have the same UID for accounts 
everywhere) and don't have any problem doing anything that requires an 
administrator account.

The difference between a fine and a tax is that a fine is a tax for 
doing wrong and a tax is a fine for doing well.
