You can build one yourself following the "Reverting to 32-bit Binaries"
instructions at http://devoh.com/posts/2009/08/postgresql-snow-leopard
(which follow up the build from source instructions at
http://devoh.com/posts/2008/10/installing-postgresql-on-mac-os-x-10.5-leopard
)

You probably don't want to overwrite the system PostgreSQL just yet
though. You can relocate where it compiles into with:

|CFLAGS="-arch i386" ./configure --enable-thread-safety --with-bonjour --prefix=<install location>
|

Then run make/make install, point PGDATA toward your existing database,
and start the server.
