Sure, it comes with the distribution as postgresql.conf.sample and is
installed by initdb.

Naming the directory as PostgreSQL8 is not a very good idea -- perhaps
using "PostgreSQL81" to distinguish it from PostgreSQL83 would be
better.  This is only cosmetic but it gets the point across that the two
are not compatible on-disk, as Tom already said.  (In general you cannot
share the config file either.)
