Why do you need this?  The standard says

<fetch first clause> ::= FETCH { FIRST | NEXT } [ <fetch first quantity> ] { ROW | ROWS } { ONLY | WITH TIES }
<fetch first quantity> ::= <fetch first row count> | <fetch first percentage>
<offset row count> ::= <simple value specification>
<fetch first row count> ::= <simple value specification>

which doesn't seem to leave room for a cast.

I didn't try super extensively, but this works:
  select 1 from pg_class fetch first 281474976710656 rows only;
so the count is already not restricted to be an int32 value.
