Yes. At least when you are installing a large package like Ruby  
1.8.6. There are products (I use SuperDuper) that make this both  
quick and easy (because they only update the backup image rather than  
making a whole new one).

If you have a recent update, you can compare /usr/local/ on your  
start-up drive to /usr/local/ on your backup drive to see what changed.
