It's not specific for stored procedures but http://pgfoundry.org is a
suitable location. Sourceforge could also be a source of such projects,
finding the projects that have what you are after may be more difficult.

Projects aren't grouped into the type of project so you can't really
search for which projects are SP's and which are external apps or
plug-in modules.

Maybe that can be a feature request for pgfoundry - allow a type for the
project - client app/stored proc/sql script/plug-in

I would point you to - PostBooks
http://sourceforge.net/projects/postbooks

Install this (or look through the example setup script) and have a look
through the stored procs and functions that it uses.
