Yes, any. For instance:

- you are on the remote machine (which should store the backup)
  ssh remote "pg_dump ..." > backup.sql

- you have the pg_dump installed on the backup-machine:
  pg_dump -h remote ... > backup.sql

- you are on the server:
  pg_dump ... | ssh backup_server "cat - > backup.sql"


(all untested, but should work)
