Try using ZeosDBO at http://www.zeoslib.org/ this has just been ported to Kylix.  Not sure how stable it is but the windows version is great :).

If you do not mind missing the DatabaseControls (TDBGrid, etc) you may just get the postgresql unit from Free Pascal
(www.freepascal.org). 

Also take a look at their FCL (Free Component Library), the development version has a clone of a TDataset and a
PostgreSQL-specificsubclass. Maybe you can compile it with Kylix and use with CLX data controls.
