All indications are that AIX as an OS, and probably any underlying architectures it runs on, are capable of running all supported releases of PostgreSQL. However, per this: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/interactive/supported-platforms.html "A platform (that is, a CPU architecture and operating system combination) is considered supported by the PostgreSQL development community if the code contains provisions to work on that platform and it has recently been verified to build and pass its regression tests on that platform. Currently, most testing of platform compatibility is done automatically by test machines in the PostgreSQL Build Farm." http://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_status.pl There is currently no official support, via continual regression testing, of AIX since there has not been an AIX buildfarm member in about a year - and that one (grebe) ran 5.1 using gcc. The link you provided is a subsection of the general installation notes: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/interactive/installation.html Have you read this entire chapter and tried to follow the instructions? Hopefully someone has, and ideally is willing to contribute to the documentation or Wiki, a cookbook recipe if indeed the process is considerably different that what is already documented in the aforementioned chapter.
