begin; insert into archive_foo (select * from foo where foo_id=1); delete from foo where foo_id=1;
commit;

Is probably the closest you could get.

Alternatively, you could wrap the above up in a function and just go:

select do_archive_foo(1);

Or even use a trigger if suitable.  You can have the delete automatically
trigger an insert into another table.
