You can use DO block if your postgres version is >=9.0.
DO $$
DECLARE _tablename text
BEGIN
FOR
SELECT INTO _tablename tablename
FROM pg_tables WHERE schemaname = 'schemaname'
LOOP
EXECUTE 'CREATE RULE ... TO $1 ...' USING _tablename;
END LOOP;
END $$;
For <9.0 you can use shell script with psql to do the same.
