Not according to the docs:
http://slony.info/documentation/requirements.html
Section 3.1, 3rd bullet:
You also need a recent version of PostgreSQL source. Slony-I depends on
namespace support so you must have PostgreSQL version 7.3.3 or newer to
be able to build and use Slony-I.
It says the same thing in the Slony 1.2.12 docs rpm.
