Not really--there are some workarounds, and there may be tablespace
support (or something like it) in future versions.

It's possible, by moving files around and putting in symlinks, but you
really need to know what you're doing.
The standard and straightforward recommendation right now, if you need
more than 1 physical device for space or speed reasons, is to use RAID
or LVM for your database filesystem.
