Since PostgreSQL automatically segments its internal data files to get around 
such limits, the only place you will hit this limit will be when making 
backups using pg_dump or pg_dumpall.  You may need to pipe the output of 
those commands into a file splitting utility, and then you'll have to pipe 
through a reassembly utility to restore.

PostgreSQL is smart, and breaks the table files up at ~1GB per each,
so it's transparent to you. 

You shouldn't have to worry about it.
