The PostgreSQL documentation is the place to start:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/plpgsql.html
The PostgreSQL distribution has a file with some examples in it:
src/test/regress/sql/plpgsql.sql
The pgEdit distribution (http://pgedit.com/download) has a fairly extensive plpgsql example for importing and analyzing web server logs.
I'm not familiar with Oracle, but there is a porting section in the documentation:
