This works for me :
WHERE (month||'-01-'||year)::timestamp=date;
Here is my session :
galette=# create table a (month int4, year int4, item varchar(255), num
int4);
CREATE TABLE
galette=# insert into a values (1,2005,'myitem',3);
INSERT 17296 1
galette=# create table b (num int4, date timestamp, descr varchar(255));
CREATE TABLE
galette=# insert into b values (3,'02-01-2005','blahblah');
INSERT 17299 1
galette=# insert into b values (3,'01-01-2005','toratora');
INSERT 17300 1
galette=# select date,item,descr from a
LEFT OUTER JOIN b ON b.num=a.num
WHERE (month||'-01-'||year)::timestamp=date;
date | item | descr
---------------------+--------+----------
2005-01-01 00:00:00 | myitem | toratora
