Not really. It was decided long ago that in that way madness lies. OTOH, there are ways to tune the behaviour through changes to random_page_cose, cpu_xxx_cost and effective_cache_size settings. Then there's the mallet to the forebrain that are the set enable_nestloop=off type settings. They work, but they shouldn't be your first line of attack so much as a troubleshooting tool to figure out what pgsql might be getting wrong.
