this should do it, however it appears that your library isn't a Mac OS
X shared library, probably you built a MachO bundle instead of a MachO
dylib. You'll have to look at the postgres buildsystem to see why it
doesn't use the information in tclConfig.sh (i.e. TCL_SHLIB_LD) to
build tcl extensions. The link line should use '-dynamiclib' and not
'-bundle', c.f. 'man ld' for details.
also, you really want to use the OSX standard .dylib shared library
extension, so that you can use
[load libpgtcl[info sharedlibextension]]
in cross-platform tcl code.

you cannot load static libraries

if postgres has a TEA compliant configure script, use
./configure --with-tcl=/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework
--with-tclinclude=/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Headers
similar issues have come up many many times before on the tcl-mac list,
you may want to consult the list archives...
