No, but PostgreSQL's backends will if you tell them there's more memory
available than there really is.

Adjust your PostgreSQL configuration to ensure that shared_buffers,
work_mem, etc are appropriate for the system and don't tell Pg to use
more memory than is actually available.
pg_restore isn't using up your memory. The PostgreSQL backend is.
