No, you don't need to recompile Apache to recompile PHP, just restart the
webserver.

My guess would be when you update the new postgresql library override the old
one, so PHP needs to be recompile to use the new library.

My suggestion, easiest thing to do would be to write a PHP script with just
<?
phpinfo();
?>
and run the script (or browse it through the web). You will see all your old
configure options there. Use that to configure your new PHP (make sure you
have the option --with-pgsql), do "make", 'make install', and you should be
good to go.
