Rdbi and RdbiPgSQL seem to be the answer, despite both being apparently defunct projects.

What is the Right Thing for a guy who wants R to talk to postgresql?

I think you want this:

The bioconductor project is now maintaining RdbiPgSQL. I think many people also use RODBC to connect R with Postgres.
