Really? http://people.planetpostgresql.org/devrim/index.php?/archives/44-How-To-Build-Your-Own-PostgreSQL-and-related-software-RPMs-on-CentOSRHELFedora.html I can't see anything except svn co and make build there.

Now I'm sure that you don't have any idea about PostgreSQL RPM packages: http://svn.pgrpms.org/browser/rpm/redhat/8.4/compat-postgresql/EL-5 might give you a clue.
