See the documentation for pg_dump:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/app-pgdump.html
"Dumps can be output in script or archive file formats. Script
dumps are plain-text files.... Script files can be used to reconstruct
the database even on other machines and other architectures...."
"The archive files are also designed to be portable across
architectures."
