I *guess* they will be different for some targets in this list:

$ make targets -C /usr/src
Supported TARGET/TARGET_ARCH pairs for world and kernel targets
    amd64/amd64
    arm/arm
    arm/armeb
    i386/i386
    ia64/ia64
    mips/mipsel
    mips/mipseb
    mips/mips64el
    mips/mips64eb
    mips/mipsn32eb
    pc98/i386
    powerpc/powerpc
    powerpc/powerpc64
    sparc64/sparc64
