Well you have a couple of options.
1) Redesign to use a trigger instead of a check constraint.
2) During restore, you can use a custom table of contents extracted from the
dump, remove the constraint from that, do your restore, and then create the
constraint manually afterwards. This requires that you use the custom dump
format and pg_restore, of course.
