Not really.  If you knew there were no connections (and therefore
no-one changing data) you could do it in a shell script, passing the
-t option to pg_dump for each table except the one you want.  But
that won't provide you with a truly guaranteed-consistent dump like a
normal pg_dump does.

I thought someone said something about adding a multiple-table
feature to the 7.3 pg_dump, but I just tried it on the beta, and it
didn't work differently than in 7.2.
