If you have a Windows box, you can try SQL Workbench/J. Even though it is a Java application it can connect to an Access database using the JDBC/ODBC bridge. As every Windows box has an ODBC driver for Access built-in you don't need any additional drivers (you do need a Java runtime obviously).
An example connection URL is shown in the manual: http://www.sql-workbench.net/manual/profiles.html#odbc
On a 64bit System setting up the ODBC connection can be tricky though as both 32bit and 64bit drivers are registered I believe. The Java Runtime has to have the same "bits" as the ODBC driver in order to work.
I have no idea if using JDBC/ODBC would work on a Unix/Linux box though.
SQL Workbench can export any database it can connect to, to various output formats (http://www.sql-workbench.net/manual/command-export.html) The text/csv exports can be imported into Postgres.
