I do not think that pl/pgsql has exception handlers
(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/interactive/plpgsql-errors-and-messages.html). You
can raise exceptions but not catch them. Could you rewrite your
trigger function with another programming language? In Python, it
would be something like (not tested):

try:
   ... your computations
finally:
   # Insert anyway
   return "OK"
