I did that some time ago so I can't be very precise ;-)
Basically, you have to create a 'delimited with' *.txt file from your
dbase application. Then create a file in postgres having the same
structure of the original *.dbf plus foo fields between the real ones so
that they can be filled with the delimiters used.
As an example, if your original file has:
col1, col2, col3
the corresponding provisional-file in pg should have
col1, foo1, col2, foo2, col3, foo3
Once you have imported dbf-delimited.txt into provisional-file you can
drop the foo columns.

Have a look at PostgresQL Documentation, where you can find links to
some valuable books (readable on line), such as Bruce Momjan's and a few
others.

Hope this might help somehow.
