Not really. If you install a particular program that doesn't come with
the OS on one machine on your site, why would you not want to install it
separately on all of the others?

Typically, I want my favourite non-OS utilities on all machines, not
just one. (Even if I don't use them on all machines.) Thus /usr/local is
for site-local stuff.
