My init.d script has the following:
# Set defaults for configuration variables
PGENGINE=/usr/bin
PGPORT=5432
PGDATA=/var/lib/pgsql/data
PGLOG=/var/lib/pgsql/pgstartup.log

# Override defaults from /etc/sysconfig/pgsql if file is present
[ -f /etc/sysconfig/pgsql/${NAME} ] && . /etc/sysconfig/pgsql/${NAME}

In this case you can create as many configs as you need, for example:
/etc/sysconfig/pgsql/postgresql:
PGDATA=/var/lib/pgsql/data
PGPORT=5432
PGLOG=/var/lib/pgsql/pgstartup.log
PGOPTS='--config_file=/etc/postgresql.conf'

/etc/sysconfig/pgsql/postgresql2:
PGDATA=/var/lib/pgsql2/data
PGPORT=54320
PGLOG=/var/lib/pgsql2/pgstartup.log
PGOPTS='--config_file=/etc/postgresql.conf'

and create /etc/init.d/postgresql2 as symlink to /etc/init.d/postgresql
