Kind of.  It affects a person's appearance as they currently appear.  
How so?  The Real Moody had a lost leg, right?  I doubt he was born 
that way.  So why doesn't pollyjuice (PJ) turn Crouch into Moody 
with 2 legs?

Answer:  It turns you into how you appear when the potion is made.  
If Moody is dead, the PJ turns you into a dead person.
