Well, you can't do it just that way, but you could issue a setval() or
ALTER SEQUENCE command after creating the table. For instance
regression=# create table foo (bar serial);
NOTICE: CREATE TABLE will create implicit sequence "foo_bar_seq" for serial
column "foo.bar"
CREATE TABLE
regression=# alter sequence foo_bar_seq start with 1000;
ALTER SEQUENCE
or you might prefer
regression=# select setval(pg_get_serial_sequence('foo', 'bar'), 1000);
setval
--------
1000
(1 row)
