After looking at the perl script suggested by Joshua, I see that I can use crypt(), so I tested and it works. Of course postgres doesn't have a crypt() function :( I really want to be able to just insert in the database like crypt('plaintext') and have postgres handle the hashing. Is there a way in the config to change the auth module to expect a md5 hash instead of a crypt, or even plaintext?
No. There is an md5-based algorithm available, but it requires use of a salt and a special apache-specific marker. You can't just md5-has the password. I don't know much about postgres, but to hash passwords you're either going to need a language that can reproduce the algorithms used by apache (as in the examples I sent you), or you're going to need to call an external program to generate the hashes as Nick suggests.
