The docs RPM is fairly useless since it just gives you a verbatim copy
of one subdirectory of the original source tree --- and as you found
out, that Makefile is useless out of context. (As of 8.0 we've stopped
including the sgml in the RPM at all, since it's really source code.)
Grab the source tarball out of the SRPM, configure it, and look in the
doc/src/sgml subdirectory. Plain "make" there will build the HTML docs.

Check the pgsql-docs archives for more about required tools etc.
