Not really; Pootle can create a terminology file which you 
can then edit. Terminology is mostly a word-by-word aide to 
have consistent terms in your texts and can be used in 
Pootle itself (as well as in many offline editors).

Translation Memory Database (TM) works with one or many 
words (segments) so that one can have suggestions on longer 
text strings - some translation software lets you decide how 
close matches you want as suggestions, and to construct 
rules about word order and such.

Normally I work with several different TM's; one for 
business texts, another for UI-strings and Help, and a 
specific one for networking jargon. Depends on your language 
and workflow.

You can create those TM's with some of the Translate Toolkit 
on the CLI (e.g. po2tmx); you can also do it with some of 
the offline-editors which either let you add all opened 
files to the TM or even are capable to parse through a 
folder structure of choice.
This is where it can be handy to keep archives of older files.
