Depends on the defence you have in mind. I agree that, as Sniper23 said, it would be pointless to bury Abramses and such, but all users of modern material aren't masters of mobile warfare tactics. I'm thinking, why not, in 20 or 50 years, see Abrams turret dotted along ridgelines on potential border flashpoints of, say, Egypt, Quwait, Saudi Arabia...

As to modern equipment being more dug in that actually fortified, it depends on the delay you have in mind. Troops and vehicles can be hastily dug in in a matter of hours, and get out quickly to be moved somewhere else.

If you consider a really, really fixed defense (I agree, again, that there's little point to it in modern warfare), even modern material can be worth a decent preformed concrete wall and overhead cover. As I understand it, there is little more that this to ingame MG bunkers or ATGM positions. They are permanent in game scale but could probably be emptied from all their equipment in a matter of hours.
