hmm, i deleted "postgresql" and do have postgresql modules, i think:
ldapserv1:/usr/lib/freeradius # ls -l rlm_sql_postgresql*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 20073 Jan 12 21:11 rlm_sql_postgresql-1.1.0.so
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 17170 Oct 22 22:14 rlm_sql_postgresql.a
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   811 Jan 12 21:11 rlm_sql_postgresql.la
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    27 Jan 12 21:12 rlm_sql_postgresql.so ->
rlm_sql_postgresql-1.1.0.so
ldapserv1:/usr/lib/freeradius #

so it looks like the postgresql modules are compiled ...

yes:
ldapserv1:~ # rpm -q mysql-devel
mysql-devel-4.0.18-32.1
ldapserv1:~ #
