# select '2004-12-12'::date + 5 * '1 year'::interval;
?column?

2009-12-12 00:00:00

But be aware of...
richardh=# SELECT '2004-02-28'::date + '1 year'::interval;
?column?

richardh=# SELECT '2004-02-29'::date + '1 year'::interval;
?column?

2005-02-28 00:00:00
(1 row)
richardh=# SELECT '2004-02-29'::date + '4 years'::interval;
