Is there any way to get pg_dump to run a statement before dumping?

I'd like to do something like

pg_dump -a -c "create temp table params as select * from params where key=blah;" -d dev_db -t params -f
/svn/db/params.blah
svn commit /svn/db/params.blah

I'd rather avoid doing
psql -c "create table params_svn as select * from params where key = blah;"
pg_dump .....
psql -c "drop table params_svn"
replace tmptablename realtablename
svn commit ...
