Sure.  just prefix the table name with the schemaname and a .

create schema abc;
alter user me set search_path='abc', 'public';
create table z1 (id int primary key);
 \d z1
        Table "abc.z1"
 Column |  Type   | Modifiers
--------+---------+-----------
 id     | integer | not null
Indexes:
    "z1_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (id)

(Note the abc.z1 there)
create schema test3;
 create table test3.z2 (id int primary key, z1id int references abc.z1(id));
\d test3.z2
       Table "test3.z2"
 Column |  Type   | Modifiers
--------+---------+-----------
 id     | integer | not null
 z1id   | integer |
Indexes:
    "z2_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (id)
Foreign-key constraints:
    "z2_z1id_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (z1id) REFERENCES z1(id)


basically, schemas are just distinct name spaces.
