That depends on what do you mean by posthumanism, if you were talking about 
what most people would choose to look like, in, say 500 years, then probably 
yes, there would be a difference between the human body and the post human. 

But the definition of posthuman is simply a matter of enhanced human, and it 
is possible to enhance yourself keeping your external appearence. As most 
tranhumanist would agree, each person should have his right to not change his 
appearence, if so he wishes.
