Not at the moment, but we can add that..

I added the capability to specify exact permutations like:

permutation "rwx1" "rwx2" "c1" "c2"

See my git repository at
git://git.postgresql.org/git/users/heikki/postgres.git, branch
"serializable". I also added a short README to explain what the
isolation test suite is all about, as well as separate "make check" and
"make installcheck" targets.
