But the PostgreSQL RPM's are used as a base for distributors' distributions,
which _do_ need to adhere to LSB/FHS.

Removing the RPM's -- assuming other software isn't install that depends upon
postgresql:
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql stop
# rpm -qa|grep ^postgresql|xargs rpm -e
# rm -rf /var/lib/pgsql
and you're done.
- From source:
Stop postmaster.
Remove /usr/local/pgsql/bin from the PATH of everybody who uses postgresql.
rm -rf /usr/local/pgsql
Edit /etc/ld.so.conf
Run ldconfig.
Looks longer, IMO.
