No, but you can use the libpq password file. See

[GENERAL] ‘--pwfile’ command

[Tommy Flewwelling]

Hello, 
Could someone tell me if the ‘--pwfile’ command can be applied to createdb.exe 
and psql.exe?
I found a description of ‘--pwfile’ at 
http://www.it-manuals.info/postgressql/app-initdb.html, which states:
--pwfile=filename 
makes initdb read the database superuser's password from a file. the first line 
of the file is taken as the password. 
I would like to disable password prompt (-W) and have the password read from a 
file.
Any pointers would surely be appreciated.
Thanks, 
Tommy_
