Not really.
My viewport / screen is 3840pixel wide on one machine, but it is
1280pixel wide on another machine and 1440pixel wide on yet another.
No problem filling all these correctly with one set of percentages -
although it will look strangely wide on some viewports / screens.
However, my viewports / screens provide 3 different starting-widths for
converting to 'em' - and I have no idea what viewport / screen widths
end-users have.
You have to decide if the 100% starting-width is 800, 1024, 1280,
1600pixel or something else, since you can't convert percentages into
'em' directly for anything but font-size and line-height.
If your 100% starting-width is 800pixel, then "800/16='em'" will hit
right as long as we're dealing with the default font-size for 96dpi.
If browsers correct correctly for resolution, then it'll still be
correct (in a manner of speaking) for other resolutions.
Problem is: browsers are not very good at the "various resolution" game
yet, so you may get more than one actual width as result on higher
resolutions - depending on browser.
Hope that came through a bit clearer.
