err ... no -
you can hold down some keys to choose which partition to boot from (if they're all bootable), or to boot up into single-user mode - but not the disk utilities - that's a GUI application that need the OS loaded and running for it to load.
Perhaps you are confusing a PC which lets you stops after the BIOS has loaded so you can low-level format disks and change boot order? this is not a mac thing.
LIke Ribfeast says, you boot off an install CD if you want to repartition the boot HD.
Why do you want to re-partition the disk?
