No, there isn't. You can change the priority "from the outside" on the
postmaster process, and it should inherit to newly created backends, but
there's no way in postgresql itself.

I think it'd be ok to increase the priority, but beware that
*decreasing* the priority probably won't do what you expect (see list
archives for previous discussions).
