No.  A prepared transaction has already run its end-of-transaction
operations, eg at-commit triggers.  Reopening it would be a fundamental
semantics violation.

That said, it seems to me that the prepared-xacts infrastructure could
possibly support a separate "suspend transaction" and "resume
transaction" facility, if anyone wants to do the legwork to make it
happen.  What this would actually be useful for is a fair question
though --- what's it do that you don't have now?
