If Bash really is your implementation language one of your
best bets may be to download the entire resultset into a
text file and *actually* less'ing through that.
Other than that, something akin to a local file may be
constructed by judicious use of pipes.
psql ... -c 'select interesting rows;' | less
should do the trick, no ?
