Jared,
The only requirement is that tcsh is installed on your system, as some freesurfer scripts use it (for instance, recon-all is a tcsh script, but you can run it within bash). We 'recommend' tcsh only because many of the wiki examples assume it as the shell.

Hello freesurfer gurus, I noticed on the wiki that they recommend using tcsh when running freesurfer, although they say other shells can be used. Is there a significant advantage to using tcsh when running freesurfer? If I would rather use bash is there any significant reason not to?
