Not really, the drums of the Futurama Theme are indeed sampled from the Amen Break, together with some bongos from Rapper's Delight.
Psyche Rock was sampled for the bells.
Check out this breakdown/remake and compare with the 30s theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoq5-bLYM5Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoq5-bLYM5Q
(EDIT: It is even easier to hear the Amen Break in the extended version, check this site for the timestamps: https://www.whosampled.com/sample/808/Christopher-Tyng-Futurama-Theme-The-Winstons-Amen,-Brother/ https://www.whosampled.com/sample/808/Christopher-Tyng-Futur... )
Also keep in mind that the original Psyche Rock is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb32bdQJBxM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb32bdQJBxM
...and not this 1997 remix by Fatboy Slim, which is the first result in Youtube for Psyche Rock, and also has an Amen-ish break, and sounds indeed close to the Futurama theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qssa6ec7faQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qssa6ec7faQ
