In general: Yes, they might differ.

Me personally, I consider these incidents to be genuine bugs. If more
people would use pre-built packages, more reports would come in and we
could fix this better. Until such time, you can probably share the ports
tree between multiple machines via NFS and run 'make install' on each
computer.

On the other hand, it is rather seldom, that you find such differences
between 'make install' and 'pkg_add'.
