Sure.  This has worked for a release or two, IIRC:

regression=# create table parent (f1 int default 42);
CREATE TABLE
regression=# create table child (f1 int default 43) inherits (parent);
NOTICE:  CREATE TABLE: merging attribute "f1" with inherited definition
CREATE TABLE
regression=# insert into child default values;
INSERT 153946 1
regression=# select * from child;
 f1
----
 43
(1 row)
