Need to repitch yeast after 5+ months?

Back when I was new and still doing extract kits, I did a Mexican cervesa style beer using WLP940. This was brewed back in May, and transferred to a secondary in July. Its always been in a refrigerator for a some quick impromptu lagaring.

If I ever get around to bottling it, will I need to add more yeast?

Probably. Especially since it's been in the fridge for 6 months. A little dry yeast added at bottling should get you there.

It doesn't take much, just a gram will do ya. You will end up with very little sediment.
