How about this?

<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Disabled</key>
<false/>
<key>Label</key>
<string>org.postgresql.postgresql</string>
<key>UserName</key>
<string>postgres</string>
<key>GroupName</key>
<string>postgres</string>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres</string>
<string>-D</string>
<string>/usr/local/pgsql/data</string>
</array>
<key>StandardOutPath</key>
<string>/usr/local/pgsql/data/launchd.log</string>
<key>StandardErrorPath</key>
<string>/usr/local/pgsql/data/launchd.log</string>
<key>OnDemand</key><!-- OS X 10.4 -->
<false/>
<key>KeepAlive</key><!-- OS X 10.5+ -->
<true/>
</dict>
</plist>

No fix for the networking issue, of course.
