In the general sense that both have passive defensive tactical value, yes. But, as far as specifics, no. A lion's mane cannot directly hurt an assailant like a porcupine's spines can, but that is more than compensated by a lion's sheer strength and tenacity in combat. Though, the two features share properties that make the respective wearer more intimidating. Another theoretical use for the spines and mane are to displace the animals actual position and fool potential attackers, regarding wear they choose to strike.
