... just to add.
partioning in Postgres/Bizgres is called "constraint exclusion" and uses table 
inheritance + Rulesot Triggers  to
dispatch the rows to the right "partition" (table).
It works only when literals are used ;( e.g. there is no dynamic partition 
pruning as in Oracle ;(. 
I know there are plans to imlement "real partitioning" in the near future 
versions of Postgres, but I  suppose it will
last 
another 1-2 years to imlement and test this functionality ..
Let me know if you neeed further information about this topic.
 
As for clustering of data using PG database there are also other projects 
trying to cover this topic too:

List,
 
Has anybody heard of Bizgres? It seems to be PostgreSQL adapted for data 
warehousing. The vendor is Greenplum. Sun has
announced a DW Appliance for $250,000 that will include Bizgres. I see where 
they are implementing table partitioning.
