Because by definition a birthmark is a mark present at birth, no, you can not get a birthmark later in life: "moles" frequently, in fact typically, develop later in life, but are not birthmarks.
The "Becker's Nevus" (a brown patch, often hairy, and/ or freckled; typically located on the chest or upper arm or back) which usually appears during puberty/ early adulthood in a minority of males (some studies assert as many as 2% have them; other studies give a much lower frequency - under 0.5%) is, however, regarded as a "birthmark" because it seems genetically determined.
It is probable that the emergence of such marks on a male's skin is triggered by the circulation of large amounts of testosterone during puberty, but the exact mechanisms involved, and how and why a small percentage of males are so affected, are currently imperfectly understood. There does seem to be a "genetic marker" for such nevii in the DNA of all men bearing these marks who have been studied.
