I do not believe that will work in any released version. It will work
to set PGDATESTYLE as an environment variable in the postmaster's
environment, however.
As of 7.3 it will be possible to set DateStyle in postgresql.conf,
but up through 7.2 DateStyle is specially handled and isn't in the
set of variables that postgresql.conf knows about :-(
For the particular problem at hand, adding -e to the postmaster's
command line switches might have been enough ...
