Point taken, but fortunately, Simon got back to me and essentially indicated that I was out of luck.

Is it at all possible to manually replay archived WAL files after restoring

You probably want to look at:
http://candle.pha.pa.us/main/writings/pgsql/sgml/backup-online.html

That is from the soon to be released 8.1 documentation. PITR is available
in 8.0, but I believe there were enhancements made to the tools for using
it in 8.1.

Unfortunately, diffing the 8.0.4 docs against the 8.1 docs shows almost no useful differences. I was mostly hoping someone with knowledge of the WAL internal format could tell me how to extract the transactions from some and manually replay them in the db via psql with lots of copy/paste action.
