It is not. What we support is documented at
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/functions-matching.html#FUNCTIONS-POSIX-REGEXP

I have no idea what "(?<=" is supposed to mean --- it's not a standard
regexp construct, for sure. In general, "(?" is used to introduce
non-POSIX extensions that are specific to particular regexp
implementations. There's some commonality there, but you should never
assume that such things are portable.
