Yes you can, but not with the repositories at yum.postgresql.org. There's a
dependency of a package that only exists on RHEL or CentOS and fail.

You'll be able to :
- compile PostgreSQL
- download and install rpm packages by hand
- use a Amazon provided repo that installs more recent Postgres versions -
actually not up-to-date.

After struggling with the points above I decided just to use CentOS on EC2.
It works perfectly and from CentOS 7 and up it is supported by AWS on all
instance types and their exquisite hardware like network interfaces for EBS
performance.
