No. A simple adduser would work, but at the next installation
stages, make all your actions with the user postgres. Note that
postgres is not a super-user in the unix-sense (he has no more rights
than any user), but in the postgres-sense (he and only him can start
or stop the postmaster and create database or postgres-users (if he
don't give his rights of course)).
Note also that many linux distributions create a postgres
account on installation (like debian), or where you install the rpm
distribution of Postgres (like redhat).
