Yes, in the 6.x.x. manual is the:
select * from mytab[ LIMIT { count | ALL } [ { OFFSET | , } count ] ] ;

Subject: [SQL] Limit rows
Hello,
I'm still thinking about ways to extract specific rows of data from a
table, whilst ignoring others. i.e. I want to see rows 3-7 inclusive from
a table.
Assume that I don't have a numerical identifier - I do, but I can't use
that as rows from this table may be deleted at some point, thereby
knocking the id row out of sequence.
Basically I want to be able to do something like this:
select * from table ignore 10 limit 5;
I can't use cursors, which are ideal for this I know.
Is there such a thing in SQL or pgsql specifically? If not I'll have to
write something....
Regards,
Mark.
