No, not if one machine is 64-bit and the other is 32-bit, which is what
I suspect given your reference to Opteron. In general log shipping has
to have the same CPU architecture as well as the same Postgres version
on both ends.
You could possibly make it work by running a 32-bit build of Postgres
on both machines.
