I was able to build one by adding some targets to
doc/src/sgml/Makefile using <http://docbook2x.sf.net/>:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
postgres.txml: postgres.xml
db2x_xsltproc -s texi postgres.xml -o postgres.txml
postgres.texi: postgres.txml
db2x_texixml --encoding=iso-8859-1//TRANSLIT postgres.txml --to-stdout | \
sed -e 's/^@setfilename.*/@setfilename postgres.info/' \
-e '/^@direntry/,/^@end direntry/{\
s/([^)]\+/(postgres.info/\
}' \
> postgres.texi
postgres.info: postgres.texi
makeinfo --no-validate postgres.texi -o postgres.info
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
However, the resulting info documentation is still lacking an index,
which doesn't make it as usable at it could be :-/.
