No, it is not.

It sounds like a problem with your mail system.  If you see a delay
like this again, do a 'mailq' and see if it is sitting in the queue.
Normally it should be delivered immediately, but there might be
something with your system that is causing a delay.

I'll go out on a limb and make a guess that you are using the Postfix
that shipped with OS X?  The reason I say this is that I noticed the
exact behavior you describe with the default Postfix on Panther.  Mail
would often sit there in the queue until a subsequent message was
sent, and then all would be delivered, as if the new message woke the
queue up or something.  Very strange.
