Yes, it's possible. Use EXECUTE.
There is one example under "Example 38-9. Porting a Procedure from
PL/SQL to PL/pgSQL"
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/plpgsql-porting.html
Also have look in:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/plpgsql-statements.html
under "37.6.5. Executing Dynamic Commands"
