i am getting errors in my log like this

Warning: ini_set() has been disabled for security reasons  in /home/tvpwhole/public_html/app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Email/Template.php on line 427

Does magento need ini_set to be enabled?

Yes, Magento will require ini_set() to be enabled to function properly.

Thanks, I thought that ini_set was a security concern.  Is it still a concern but just required or is there any way to make it more secure?

IMO enabling ini_set() isn't really a major security concern as long as the server is setup and secured properly. 

If the server is not setup and secured properly, you have more important things to worry about than just ini_set().
