I doubt it. Just keep them in a ziploc bag, and squeeze as much air as possible out of it. Put the bag inside another bag or a jar if you aren't going to use for awhile.
As far as I know, vanilla beans stay good for a very long time. I've had the experience of finding a bag with one or two in my kitchen that I'd lost/forgotten for years (my pantry runneth over). They were fine -- the outside was dried out, but once I slit it open there was plenty of good stuff inside to scrape out and use. At worst, it lost a little of its flavor.
