The only things that should make a difference to you should be in the
/etc directory, assuming the RPM follows the filesystem standard (I
believe it does).  My suggestion is to back everything up, then
replace the RPM in the standard way, and then compare the files one
at a time to see what's different.  I'll bet the binaries and
libraries, of course, and things under /etc/[postgres?]/, and that's
it.  Most likely, it'll be postgresql.conf and pg_hba.conf, and maybe
pg_ident.conf.
