A MERGE trigger will do exactly what you are asking for.

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-sql/2004-05/msg00135.php

Send all your data as INSERTS.
The trigger will run a function to see if the row exists.
If the row exists -> rewrite it as it as an UPDATE
If the row does not exist -> leave the INSERT alone
