Sure you can, if you're using a version new enough to have arrays of
composite types.

regression=# create table t1 (f1 int, f2 text);
CREATE TABLE
regression=# insert into t1 values (1,'one');
INSERT 0 1
regression=# insert into t1 values (2,'two');
INSERT 0 1
regression=# select array(select row(t1.*)::t1 from t1);
       ?column?        
-----------------------
 {"(1,one)","(2,two)"}
(1 row)

Whether this is a good idea for a large table is a different question ;-)
