not directly, no.  at least not yet :)  6.6 is rumoured to have full
support.

for now you can use refint ( $PGSQL_SRC_ROOT/contrib/spi/refint.* ), which
handles referential integrity.  check_primary_key() and
check_foreign_key() are the two functions involved.  youd also need two
triggers, one per table.

i could've sworn this got added to the FAQ...
