Thanks for the hints and discussion about this.

Here's my final implementation for the curious and to close the loop:

# a zsh function to avoid having to type "service="

$ which pssql
pssql () {
psql "service=$@"
}

# and a zsh completion function:

$ cat ~/.fpath/_pssql
#compdef pssql

PG_SERVICES_CONF=~/.pg_service.conf

if [[ -r ${PG_SERVICES_CONF} ]]; then
compadd $(sed -nE 's/^ *\[(.*)\] *$/\1/p' ${PG_SERVICES_CONF})
fi

It works like a charm!

Thanks for all the help!
