There is no possibility for this. See (from manual):

(3) You also cannot have transactions in PL/pgSQL procedures. The
entire function (and other functions called from
    therein) is executed in a transaction and PostgreSQL rolls back
the results if something goes wrong. Therefore
    only one BEGIN statement is allowed.
