No, you must pass while your hand is full (4 cards, or 8 for Harkonnen). If your hand drops below full during the phase, for example by playing a Truth Trance or using a Karama to stop Atreides' prescience, you may bid from then on. The auction may have fewer cards than players, and a Karama can't be used to buy a card if your hand started full.
