Yes, code to handle dependency hierarchys and subsequent ordered
installations is already done. I'd estimate the download/installation
wizard to be about 2/3rds complete at the moment. We also have plans for
additional packages that would give us a dependency tree to test.

In addition, the design (and the wizard code) has been written with
future cross platform support in mind - it shouldn't take much effort to
add RPM packages for example.

There is a rough project spec on the downloads area of the pgFoundry
site if you want to read more.
