I don't think so, since ooodict-all install everything!
o if some files are updated, ooodict-all can be size mismatched. so this
port must be broken.
o if ooodict-all port is marked as broken, other secondary port should
also be broken and these secondary ports are always broken EVEN IF ONLY ONE
file is size mismatched.
o if some files are updated and do not mark ooodict-all BROKEN, we can
still install localized ports which not updated (if we properly write 
Makefile)

so both gives the same result.

BTW: I wrote a page about what are ooodict-all and related ports.

if you know something about please let me know.
