Since the source for all platforms is almost the same, I think you can guess 
the minimum system requirements from my experience:

I'm running PostgreSQL 9.1.3 on a 400 MHz MIPS processor, which has got a 
processing power equal of a 140 MHz P4. The PostgreSQL server consumes 8 
Megabytes of RAM just after starting it, and by default it uses 32 MB of 
shared memory. My installation package after compiling the source is 24 MB.
As you can see, the requirements are quite low, it's hard to find a reliable 
working PC which is not faster and better than the above one.
