No. There's actually no compelling reason to have a baal t'filah at all, if fewer than a minyan have given up waiting and just decided to go ahead and daven. But if ... early in the morning, for example ... you think a minyan is likely to arrive, and a baal t'filah began the brochos, if there's still no minyan when he reaches a kaddish, the mourners don't say it, and in any case when a kaddish is reached without a minyan, it's not said.
