Well, it's not the same as PostgreSQL's serial (which is a 32-bit NOT NULL incrementing integer -- MySQL's serial is a 64-bit unique, NOT NULL incrementing integer). Personally, I think the implementations are different enough that making AUTO_INCREMENT an alias for SERIAL on the PostgreSQL side of things would just confuse the situation further...
