This is untested, but in theory...

In regedit, assuming your pgAgent service ID is pgagent, add a 
REG_MULTI_SZ value called DependOnService under:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\pgagent

Edit the value, and add the service ID of your local PostgreSQL 
installation, eg. pgsql-8.2

Restart...
