No. pg_dump output and WAL files are at two utterly different levels of
abstraction --- the WAL files describe the exact placement of tuples
within tables and indexes, to mention just one example. There's no hope
of using pg_dump output to reproduce the state of a database exactly
enough that you could apply WAL files to it.
