Easy enough with PlPerl:

$ sudo apt-get install liblingua-en-inflect-perl

$ createlang plperlu

$ psql <<eot
> create or replace function numwords(int)
>   returns text
>   language plperlu
>   immutable
> as '
> use Lingua::EN::Inflect qw( NUMWORDS );
> return NUMWORDS(shift);
> ';
> eot
CREATE FUNCTION

$ psql -tc 'select numwords(1234)'

 one thousand, two hundred and thirty-four
