Sure you have: order the inserts by primary key inside each transaction.
Then you will not get deadlocks, but inserting the same key again will
fail of course (but that's the purpose of the primary key, right ?)
Ordering inserts/updates by the columns which cause locks is the first
thing to do to avoid dead-locks...
