Sure, I've had to deal with this frequently. Luckily, Data.Binary has functions like getWord32be, putWord64le, etc. I've never had any problems and typically don't worry about the wire format after making the Binary instances.
Or, if your question was what types of programs might be concerned you can include any program that writes data to a file where the file might be read on a different system and networking programs, obviously.
