cron isn't really part of the OS. Up until 8.0, any OS that Postgres ran on had cron. I have seen claims that there is a version of cron that runs under windows, but haven't verified that. Given this I don't see how a dependence on cron is going to cause you portability problems.
I would prefer the development effort be applied to more specific database engine issues and enhancements. As Bruno has noted, you can get some variation of cron on virtually every OS that runs Postgresql.
