If you mean have the psql client right-justify a particular text column, no I
don't think there's a way to do that.
Assuming the column contains single-width characters with no line breaks,
you could do something with LPAD along these lines:
SELECT LPAD(txtcol, (SELECT MAX(LENGTH(txtcol)) FROM tbl)) FROM tbl
