No; there is no requirement for a pkey value to be in the same index
in different ports.
But if you want to run an MPI application in all the ports belonging to
one partition (e.g: partition2 in my previous exmple) a conflict will arise
as most of the MPI implementations have provision of allowing only one
Pkey index (e.g: ib_pkey_ix in openMPI). This problem can be easily solved
by storing pkey value at the same pkey index in all ports belonging to same
partition.

No, some nodes in the cluster may have a specific partitions configuration
so for the same partition (ex 0x8088) pkey index may change on nodes.
For more informations,
See https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=519
That's why a new configuration parameter has been created for mvapich :
# grep -C2 VIADEV_DEFAULT_PKEY /usr/mpi/gcc/mvapich-0.9.9/etc/mvapich.conf
# VIADEV_DEFAULT_MAX_RDMA_DST_OPS
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# VIADEV_DEFAULT_PKEY_IX
#
# Default value:none
# Index of predefined partition
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# VIADEV_DEFAULT_PKEY
#
# Default value:none
# Name (key) of predefined partition. One can pass it both in decimal
end hexadecimal
# format. This parameter prevail over VIADEV_DEFAULT_PKEY_IX, when defined.
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm wondering if the ib_pkey_val parameter has not the same goal for
OPENMPI :
