I use stored procedures :
create function insertorupdate(....) UPDATE mytable WHERE ... SET ... IF NOT FOUND THEN INSERT INTO mytable ... END IF;
You lose flecibility in your request though.
I wish Postgresql had an INSERT OR UPDATE like MySQL does. So far it's the only thing that I regret from MySQL.
