I think so.  The critical point is that interval_scale is not in the
compiled-in table of known internal functions in 7.3.2.  A recompile
with the added pg_proc.h line should get it in there, and then you could
manually add the pg_proc entry without actually doing initdb.  But I
haven't tested it to be sure there are no gotchas.
