Yes, they surely are...

pgdba(at)ydb2(dot)int(dot)libertyrms(dot)com:/opt/rg/data_dba/src/pgsql-8.1.5 $ grep -i addrinfo src/include/pg_config.h
/* Define to 1 if you have the `getaddrinfo' function. */
#define HAVE_GETADDRINFO 1
/* Define to 1 if the system has the type `struct addrinfo'. */
#define HAVE_STRUCT_ADDRINFO 1
