I think you are looking for the DEFERRABLE/DEFERRED option of foreign
key constraints.

No such animal in the SQL standard --- though perhaps MATCH FULL
is approximately what you are looking for?  Your description as
stated makes no sense at all; either the columns are allowed to
be null, or they're not.
