If the recommended deps are runtime, then no. Example, if some package wants sendmail or lynx or curl. If the recommended deps are libraries, then yes, the results will be different if you installed the recommended libraries before building the application than installing the recommended dep later. Here is an example: Grep can use pcre. If you install pcre after grep ( as pcre is not in main LFS book) then grep will not build using pcre and won't link to libpcre, as well. If you install pcre before grep, then grep will use and link to libpcre. Also, a package's /etc/<confname> may be generated based on what deps are found to, and when you install the recommended deps later, the generated config will not reflect it. After installing recommended deps, and you want an application to use them, you need to rebuild the application.
