I doubt it. I have it on Ultimate, which has all the Pro stuff as well all the Home stuff. I also ran it successfully on Server 2003 (still do at my daughter's house) and WHS 2011. It's just with WHS there is no dashboard plug-in that works.
Since there's no plug-in, you have two options to manage Serviio if you are running your WHS headless.
1) Connect with Remote Desktop and work with it as if you're sitting at the console (or use a VNC server to do the same)
2) Install just the Serviio console on a different computer in you home and manage it remotely.
I've used both methods. Running the console remotely is simpler, with a caveat or two. You have to make sure you enter the media paths accurately, as the server sees them, not as your local computer. Using Remote Desktop let's you get to everything on the server, but there's slight lag in mouse and key response.
