Yeah, the built-in geometric types are all 2D. If you need 3D, perhaps PostGIS can help --- otherwise you're on your own :-(. But adding a new datatype to PG isn't hard, if you can hack C at all.
My hope was that there was something between standard PostgreSQL and PostGIS as I didn't want to bring in the whole PostGIS into my application. But probably it's worth it anyways. -- regards, Robin
