No.

Page rank (even 'greenbar' page rank) is much more complex than that.

There's never a 'certainty' that a new page will get a particular page rank - though if you have fairly predictable navigation, a new page in an existing folder is likely to get the same rank as a neighboring page.

And if you have a plain vanilla html site, page rank is fairly likely to diminish as you go deeper into the site at a rate of roughly 'one point' per level. But less likely than last year, and direct links to deep pages will distort it, of course.

Remember it's page rank, not site rank - it's every page for itself (even if the 'page' in page rank is Larry, according to urban myth / rumour / real true fact*)
