Yes:

    angelic $ pkg_info -L p5-postgresql
    Information for p5-postgresql-1.9.0:

    Files:
    /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-netbsd/Pg.pm
    /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-netbsd/auto/Pg/.packlist
    /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-netbsd/auto/Pg/Pg.bs
    /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-netbsd/auto/Pg/Pg.so
    /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-netbsd/auto/Pg/autosplit.ix

It uses the Postgres C client library.

It would be interesting to try to write a "type 4" driver for
postgres in perl. I don't know if the speed would be as good, but
I don't see any real reason why it shouldn't be.
