You probably want to take these questions to the -general list, or
-admin, in future.  That said. . .

Yes.  See
<http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/indexes-bitmap-scans.html;. 
You don't need to do anything special.

Yes.  See
<http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/manage-ag-tablespaces.html;

I know we've managed to get it to work using gcc, but I haven't had  
to do it in a while (ask on -general or -admin, I suggest).  More
important is to make sure you tell the compiler to use all the
memory.  For reasons that are completely beyond my ken, AIX imposes a 
memory limitation on every program at compile time.  There are some  
hints about this in the FAQ_AIX.
