No.  At minimum you're going to need the configure script and src/port/
as well.  My inclination would just be to ship the unmodified tarball
and do
unpack tarballcd top-dirconfigure ...cd src/interfaces/libpqmakemake install

Obviously you could strip large parts of the tarball out, but then you'd
have to redo that work every time we update.

Also keep in mind the possibility that libpq is already installed on the
machine you're on.
