That's about right: libc6 is available as libc6-i686, and there are kernel packages available for i686 too. On my system I also see loop-aes and one or two others optimized for i686 too, but this as Ron says is the exception rather than the norm. If you want to optimized for your own architecture, then 'apt-get source postgresql' and change the build options to make your own :-) This should be fairly simple.
