man pg_dump seems to say it is not possible
-t table
--table=table
Dump data for table only. It is possible for there to be multi-
ple tables with the same name in different schemas; if that is
the case, all matching tables will be dumped. Specify both
--schema and --table to select just one table.
Note: In this mode, pg_dump makes no attempt to dump any other
database objects that the selected table may depend upon. There-
fore, there is no guarantee that the results of a single-table
dump can be successfully restored by themselves into a clean
database.
