Yes, see here:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/functions-sequence.html
and specifically a little further down the page on "currval":
Return the value most recently obtained by nextval for
this sequence in the current session. (An error is reported
if nextval has never been called for this sequence in this
session.) Notice that because this is returning a session-local
value, it gives a predictable answer whether or not other
sessions have executed nextval since the current session did.
HTH,
Ray.
