It appears to me that macaddr_manuf can be defined as this:

macaddr * macaddr_trunc (macaddr *addr)
{
   macaddr *result;
   if (addr==NULL) return NULL;
   result=(macaddr *) palloc(sizeof(struct macaddr));
   result->a=addr->a;
   result->b=addr->b;
   result->c=addr->c;
   result->d=0;
   result->e=0;
   result->f=0;
   return result;
}

and then 

create function macaddr_trunc(macaddr) returns macaddr as 
 'MODULE_PATHNAME' language 'c';

and then
create function macaddr_manuf(macaddr) returns varchar2 as '
  select name from macaddr_blah where mac=macaddr_trunc($1)
' language 'sql';

Be warned, this code was typed directly in editor and not compiled ;P
Unfortunately, I don't have time to make a full-fledged contrib out of
this and Larry's awk files.
