Yes it is.
[scmhl2 at arccacluster8 Rmpi_tests]$ ompi_info | grep tm
MCA memory: ptmalloc2 (MCA v2.0, API v2.0, Component v1.3)
MCA ras: tm (MCA v2.0, API v2.0, Component v1.3)
MCA plm: tm (MCA v2.0, API v2.0, Component v1.3)

In this instance the shell of PBS is just a bash script launched by
pbs_mom so setting environment here or in the login shell is
functionally equivalent except that PBS isn't entirely reliable when it
comes to sending complex environments through.

Behaves exactly the same. Including the warnings about R_HOME.
