Not internally.  It's possible in some situations to split queries up 
across multiple nodes using add-on software.  pgpool-II, available at 
http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pgpool/ provides an implementation of 
distributed queries if your table has a type of key such that you split 
across it, but it's relatively immature software and you would have to 
look at it very carefully to see if that parallel query implementation 
could fit your needs.
