In general, mingw built modules should load just fine in msvc built postgres. AFAIK, that's how PostGIS does it for 8.3 (though I know Mark is working on getting MSVC build support for them). Debugging may be a bit harder (since they use different kinds of debug symbols - postgres uses Windows style and mingw uses mingw style), but it should certainly load.
