Yes:

test=# create table foobar (id serial primary key, name text);
NOTICE: CREATE TABLE will create implicit sequence "foobar_id_seq" for serial column "foobar.id"
NOTICE: CREATE TABLE / PRIMARY KEY will create implicit index "foobar_pkey" for table "foobar"
CREATE TABLE
test=*# copy foobar (name) from stdin;
Enter data to be copied followed by a newline.
End with a backslash and a period on a line by itself.
>> name1
>> name2
>> name3
>> \.
test=*# select * from foobar;
id | name
----+-------
1 | name1
2 | name2
3 | name3
(3 rows)

HTH, Andreas
