It does not, unfortunately (yet - IIRC someone was working on it). It
can be configured to *require* a trusted client-side X509 certificate,
but it can't be used for authenticating the user.

To require a client certificate, create a list of root certs to match
against - see http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/ssl-tcp.html.
