Err... no.  Why would you want that?  If you don't want it clustered,
just don't run CLUSTER on it.

Oh, but it'll still get clustered by CLUSTER ALL.  Maybe there should be
a way to set it not to cluster (ALTER TABLE ... NO CLUSTER?)

There's still the catalog modification path (set indisclustered=false),
of course.
