No: Suet is firm even at room temperature, while most margarines will be too soft to hold any shape. you really can't make homemade suet, per se. Suet is suet. If you are using this to feed to birds, PLEASE do not use margarine: it's an artifically thickened product that could be very bad for the birds. It's chemically alterated to be thick and there are already questions over its safety for humans. Birds need the nice fats in real suet in the winter because it helps build their body fat and keep them warm and nourished. Margarine will not benefit them in the same way and their bodies may not be able to really use the fact at all since it's not similar molecurlarly to any naturally occuring fat. The whole issue is controversial but many studies suggest that humans can't really digest this substance either.
Buy real suet for the birds. If you are making plum pudding, you can probably use lard or butter though.

Why is oil not appropriate substitute in dough making?
Oil is not appropriate in any baked product where a flaky texture is desired, such as most pie crusts, brioche, croissants, turnovers, American baking powder biscuits, and most Danish and French pastries. Solid shortenings (lard, suet, tallow, butter, margarine, vegetable shortening) remain solid at room temperatures and form multiple layers of alternating flour and fat in dough that become flakes when baked. Oil does not form such layers, but soaks into or coats the grains of flour, resulting in a crumbly texture in the finished product.
