Unfortunately no. 9.3 beta was released about 18 months before
http://www.postgresql.org/about/news/1463/ and we don't have even the
tarball anymore:

ftp://ftp-archives.postgresql.org/pub/source/

What you can do it (*I* don't know how, but I know it is doable) fetch
9.3 beta1 sources from our git repo, create the tarball of your own, and
then follow the instructions in

http://people.planetpostgresql.org/devrim/index.php?/archives/44-How-To-Build-Your-Own-PostgreSQL-and-related-software-RPMs-on-CentOSRHELFedora.html

to create your own RPMs. If you need professional support, you can
contact the PostgreSQL support companies, so that they can prepare the
RPMs for you.

Then we would use hundreds of GBs of disk space, and then would keep
releases which have security issues and bugs.
