It would've taken you less time to test it than to post the question.
regression=# select version();
version
----------------------------------------------------------------
PostgreSQL 7.4.17 on hppa-hp-hpux10.20, compiled by GCC 2.95.3
(1 row)
regression=# create table foo (f1 int);
CREATE TABLE
regression=# insert into foo values(1);
INSERT 1555575 1
regression=# begin;
BEGIN
regression=# truncate table foo;
TRUNCATE TABLE
regression=# abort;
ROLLBACK
regression=# select * from foo;
f1
----
1
(1 row)
Looks transactional to me ...
Just FYI, 7.3 fails the same test with
regression=# truncate table foo;
ERROR: TRUNCATE TABLE cannot run inside a transaction block
so it got fixed between 7.3 and 7.4.
