The General Bits newsletter has a few examples that might be helpful,
even if they're not quite what you're after:

http://www.varlena.com/varlena/GeneralBits/109.php
http://www.varlena.com/varlena/GeneralBits/4.html

There are sure to be some examples in the list archives -- just
search for "create aggregate":

http://archives.postgresql.org/

If these links don't help, then please post more details about what
you're trying to do and what trouble you're having.  If you have
any code that doesn't work the way you want but that helps show
what you're after, then go ahead and post it with an explanation
of what it does (or doesn't do) and what you'd like it to do (or
not do).
