If we sometimes access a db server by IP address, and sometimes by
hostname, must we have two entries for each server+user (one with the
hostname and the other with IP address), or is there a way to put them
both on the same line?
Not with .pgpass, though there is the service file method:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/libpq-connect.html#LIBPQ-CONNSTRING
service
Service name to use for additional parameters. It specifies a service
name in pg_service.conf that holds additional connection parameters. This
allows applications to specify only a service name so connection
parameters can be centrally maintained. See Section 33.16.
That looks promising.
