Vim documentation states that ctags won't work w/ vim, and recommends 
exuberant-ctags.  If ctags does process PL/pgSQL, perhaps that output 
could be added to the exuberant-ctags tags file, likely w/ some 
processing.  I've got exuberant-ctags on a cron, and I think that Vim 
also calls it periodically during a Vim session, so I'd also cron ctags 
for regular update to the same tags file.   To avoid sync problems, 
where exuberant-ctags overwrites the ctags content, I'd actually want to 
call both tags programs from the a common exuberant-ctags wrapper.
