For sure, from the same initial structure you won't obtain the same
trajectory. This is true even within the same program, i.e. you can
obtain different trajectories picking different ramdom seeds. It is
expected though that the general behavior of the system will be the same
for namd (charmm ff), gromacs or amber. One excellent book you can
consult is Marcel Decker's Computational Biochemistry and Biophysics. On
chapter two you can find a comparison between this different force fields.
