You want to use the special type of "CONSTRAINT" trigger.

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/interactive/sql-createtrigger.html

Notice that constraint triggers require the developer of the trigger
to RAISE EXCEPTION when the constraint is violated.

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/interactive/plpgsql-errors-and-messages.html

The syntax for RAISE EXCEPTION allow the developer to specify any
desired message.
