You can try the symlink game if you want, but it'll be on your own head whether it works or not. (For the record, I am hoping to do exactly that in future releases for Red Hat ... but in that context I know what the system's timezone code is. I'm less sure that I know what Apple is using.)
Thank you all for your speedy and informative replies. I had a good idea why you wouldn't symlink (for release consistency), but I wasn't aware that there were format differences in the timezone files. Currently Apple's format appears to work fine with postgresql. And given the responses and to make a quick job of it I will be copying Apple's files only on the machines affected instead of symlinking until we can coordinate a new version update. It seems that we are only being affected in Canada...
