Implicit casting might bite you since that was removed in 8.3.
Take a careful look at the migration notes for each release inbetween to see how they affect you:

You MUST read Releases Notes for each major version between to see what change and what may impact your application. -- Cédric Villemain 2ndQuadrant http://2ndQuadrant.fr/ PostgreSQL : Expertise, Formation et Support

Make sure your client library handles that for you (or explicitly code for it). These are the two major issues we had to address between our 8.1->8.3->9.0 update over the last few years.
