this should do it, however it appears that your library isn't a Mac OS X shared library, probably you built a MachO bundle instead of a MachO dylib. You'll have to look at the postgres buildsystem to see why it doesn't use the information in tclConfig.sh (i.e. TCL_SHLIB_LD) to build tcl extensions. The link line should use '-dynamiclib' and not '-bundle', c.f. 'man ld' for details.
also, you really want to use the OSX standard .dylib shared library extension, so that you can use
[load libpgtcl[info sharedlibextension]]
in cross-platform tcl code.
% load /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpgtcl.a
dyld: tclsh malformed library: /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpgtcl.a (not a Mach-O file, bad magic number)
you cannot load static libraries
Question 2) Since I have Apple's Tcl and the Aqua Tcl/Tk how do I force config to use the
aqua version?
if postgres has a TEA compliant configure script, use
./configure --with-tcl=/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework --with-tclinclude=/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Headers
similar issues have come up many many times before on the tcl-mac list, you may want to consult the list archives...

Daniel
