Why not just compile an extra PostgreSQL, and put it in its own path?

./configure --prefix=/other/path/to/new/pgsql

ought to work.  The only thing you should need is the right
LD_LIBRARY_PATH to get the libraries for psql, &c., at runtime.  You
can write a little file which sets up the environment for each, if
you need them both.  Then just source the appropriate file when you
want to use the relevant version of PostgreSQL.

I have a little doc we use internally about installing PostgreSQL
without root; I suppose I could alter it for general use if it would
be helpful to people.
