Good question Peter! Absolutely. The metadata is about the page not the site and should be unique (at least the title and description) for every page. Depends on how much metadata you use.
This leads to a really deep discussion about metadata that we may have at some point, but in the mean time you may want to take a look at some of the metadata on the pages within http://www.gt.nsw.gov.au/ and then the AGLS Harvest Control List (HCL) at http://www.gt.nsw.gov.au/meta/ and the RDF summary for the other files in the site at http://www.gt.nsw.gov.au/meta/metadata.cfm Everything in this site (apart from the images used in the site design) has a fully compliant AGLS record that is generated in real time. If the client adds or adjusts a page then the embedded data and the HCL (including it's timestamp and version number (within that day)) are updated. I'm really anal about metadata being as correct as possible and others around me often think I go too far. Make it part of your workflow and it's easy! Build it thoughtfully into your CMS and most of it writes itself.
