Not directly, but you could try something like
perform * from pg_class where  relname = 'mytable' and pg_table_is_visible(oid);if not found then ...  -- create the
table

The visibility test would not succeed for temp tables belonging to other
backends.  (If 'mytable' is also used as the name of a regular table
then this isn't quite good enough, but I think just avoiding such a name
collision is easier than extending the check to reject non-temp tables.)
