I suppose that a similar effect could be achieved by something like CREATE TABLE mytable_logged AS SELECT * FROM mytable_unlogged; which would not produce WAL: http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/populate.html#POPULATE-PITR unless of course you are using PITR or replication, in which case you surely want your table to be logged at some point anyway.
