On Oct 2 the latest crypto hash function was announced by NIST [1]. I suggest that we include the new hash algorithm in pgcrypto for 9.3.
The Keccak site also has a reference implementation in C and Assembler [2]. It may take some effort to integrate the reference implementation as it contains several optimized backends for X86, X86_64, SIMD and various ARM platforms.
