Not without requiring it for everyone who uses it.  When you are installing
Bundle::Slash (or before), just do:

	cpan> install DBD::Pg

You can install any modules individually that way.  BSD users also need to
this for BSD::Resource.

I can add this to the next version of INSTALL.  I'll try to make it a bit
more clear, and mention alternate DBDs specifically.
