Yes. Per the docs:

If an SQL NULL is to be written to the table, simply leave the field
empty. If you store a new row, this will let the server fill in the
default value for that column. If you store a change to an existing
row, the value NULL will explicitly be written.

To enter a newline into a field, press Ctrl-Enter.

If you want pgAdmin III to write an empty string to the table, you
enter the special string '' (two single quotes) in the field. If you
want to write a string containing solely two single quotes to the
table, you need to escape these quotes, by typing \'\'

See http://www.pgadmin.org/docs/1.12/editgrid.html
