It unfortunately can't be done from within the database. There is
only one workaround -- using dblink or similar technology to connect
back to the database inside your function to bend/break transaction

In the 9.0 world, this (no implicit transaction state pl code,
possibly termed 'stored procedures') is one of the top two or three
requested features.
