Within the current scope of RDF, I think the answer is No.
Er, that is, unless you count some "trivial" entailments like:
    s p o .
entails
    _:r rdf:type rdf:Statement .
    _:r rdf:subject s .
    _:r rdf:property p .
    _:r rdf:object o .
(Within the extended scope of, say, what N3 does with contexts, I think the 
answer is Maybe.)
