Yep. In your ogr2ogr query string query try "select buffer(area, nn.nn) as geom from table where...;"
PostGIS will buffer it before sending it to GDAL for export to shapefile. Or if you are repeatedly doing this, create a view in PostGIS with the buffer, & select this with GDAL, whichever suits....
