I think not because the border is filled with the pixels from the  
tile, but we need the pixels from the neighbor tiles here.

Example.
Given a tile 10x10 and bicubic interpolation. This means 16 pixels are  
the input for the calculation of one result pixel. Building a pyramid  
means reduction of the tile to 5x5 which implies reducing 4 pixels to  
one.
Lets start in the ULC.  Pixels (0,0), (1,0), (1,0) and (1,1) will be  
replaced by a new pixel.
The bicubic interpolation needs all pixels in the range x = -1..2, y =  
-1..2, giving a total of 16 pixels.
The -1 coordinates are the problem, so you have to load 3 neighbor  
tiles, the upper one, the left one and a third one for  (-1,-1), the  
tile touching at the ULC.

Doing a bilinear interpolation calculating one pixel from 4 pixels  
should be now problem as long as your width and height   are even.

I think most pyramids are nearest neighbor or bilinar, working without  
problems. Bicubic or even Spline interpolation may cause headache.
