Looks like this is already fixed in 7.3, due out in a few months:

    A not-null constraint is always written as a column constraint.  A
    not-null constraint is equivalent to creating a check constraint
    <literal>CHECK (<replaceable>column_name</replaceable> IS NOT
    NULL)</literal>, but in <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>
