No, that should work fine. Here's a checklist:

1) Start the postmaster with -i or tcpip_socket=true in $PGDATA/postgresql.conf
2) Make sure there in an entry in $PGDATA/pg_hba.conf that will allow you access eg.

host         all           all       127.0.0.1     255.255.255.255    password

3) Make sure tcp/ip is installed on your workstation (pretty hard not to these days).
4) Setup a system DSN for testing:

Server:   127.0.0.1
Database: template1

All other options can be left at their defaults for testing.
