These are the easy part, and ora2pg can definitely help there.

You'll have to modify the DDL statements, but the functionality
exists in PostgreSQL.
Unless you have things like objects or nested tables, I wouldn't
expect much trouble there.

The hard part will probably be to teach the application not
to use Oracle outer join syntax and that '' IS NOT NULL.
