Just remove any devices you don't have on your machine, and remove  
any "extras" like linux compat, older version compat, etc.  You  
probably also want to disable kernel module loading (and not build  
any modules).

... but the kernel is demand paged so it won't really load up the  
code that's not used.

Personally I have a pseudo-custom configuration that covers all of my  
various machines and removes devices and modules I don't need.  I  
load up USB on computers that have only USB keyboards as a module for  
example.

You should spend more time tuning postgres itself.
