Could be. But...

How loud is it? Zetecs are notorious for loud valve trains. You'd be hard pressed to find one that doesn't have some ticking (nearly any 4cyl engine has some ticking, but zetecs are worse). I've heard a newer focus that had ticking louder than my 95k mile engine. It just depends on the engine. If it's something that's been there since you've owned the car and/or it's not EXTREMELY loud, then I wouldn't be worried. I would run some injector cleaner through though.
