If you mean a function without any arguments, it is trivial:

CREATE FUNCTION foo() RETURNS ... AS ...;
SELECT foo();

If you mean a function that doesn't take any arguments and can be
invoked without an empty set of parentheses (like current_timestamp),
there isn't a way to define such a function via SQL. You could probably
hack the SQL parser to add support for specific functions like this, as
is done for current_timestamp and friends.
