Maybe in the beginning, but I think that they became friends through the 
years.
Remember McCoy became very angry when the alien (Hanock?) that had taken 
over Spock's body suggested that Vulcans would win a war. That's more than 
just respecting Spock and his people. That was very much like: "don't mess 
with my buddy."
Plus Spock entrusted McCoy with his very own Katra.
