I don't think so.. From pkg_delete(1):

...
     distribution.  The deinstall script is called as:
           script <pkg-name> DEINSTALL
     where pkg-name is the name of the package in question and DEINSTALL is a
     keyword denoting this as the pre-deinstallation phase.
...
     The post-deinstall script is called as:
           script <pkg-name> POST-DEINSTALL
     where pkg-name is the name of the package in question and POST-DEINSTALL
     is a keyword denoting this as the post-deinstallation phase.

and a quick check of the pkg_delete source code seems to confirm this.
