PostgreSQL can read a CVS files via a COPY statement. You can use a
\copy metacommand too from psql

Openoffice can do this job, populating a table from an excel data source,
but every time i do it (which is not often) it is like reinventing the wheel again.
The way to do it, IIRC, is to "create" a database based on your existing excel data source.
After that you can copy data from this "excel-powered" database to your normal pgsql database, fairly easily.
It is easy actually, just not so straight forward as most people would want.

If your file is TAB delimited, you can simply do:
\copy tablename from 'some file'
To get details in psql, do:
psql mydatabase
and at the prompt:
\h copy
