Sure, use backticks to get what you want into there. For example,
here's one of my common prompts:
\set PROMPT1 '%n(at)%`hostname`:%>%R%#%x%x%x '
I once had a client that needed something more than that, so I
wrote a quick shell script that outputted the info on a single
line and then called the script inside the backticks.
