I couldn't find anything on pgpool regarding sharding, but I did stumble upon this
presentation that mentioned pl/proxy. PL/Proxy looks good for sharding, though it looks like it could really limit the ability to do ad hoc queries. But I suppose that would work for OLTP and then we could just maintain a separate OLAP database that may have to read from disk but would have the advantage of existing on a single machine....

You may want to look at pgpool to shard across a set of databases.
Good luck and keep us updated with what you do and how it worked out.
