Not possible with \psRandom, but:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{multido,pstricks-add,pst-slpe}
\begin{document}
	
\makeatletter
\pstVerb{
	\psk at randInit srand  % initializes the random generator
	/getRandReal { rand 2147483647 div } def
}
\makeatother
\begin{pspicture}(-1,-1)(11,11)
\psframe*[linecolor=black!10](-1,-1)(11,11)
\multido{\iA=0+1}{100}{%
	\psBall(! getRandReal 10 mul getRandReal 10 mul){blue}{3ex}}
\end{pspicture}

\end{document}
