It does. composite key are defined as a table constraint:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/sql-createtable.html
This link illistrates syntax with this example:
CREATE TABLE films (
code char(5),
title varchar(40),
did integer,
date_prod date,
kind varchar(10),
len interval hour to minute,
CONSTRAINT code_title PRIMARY KEY(code,title)
);
