Thanks for the plug :-).

Seriously, that is exactly why the RPM's are split as they are -- you _can_
install just the main package and get a working psql and libpq (with all docs)
installation to connect to a central server machine. You can then install the
tcl, tk, perl, python, or whatever clients as well (although there is a minor
problem with the tcl package that makes it require the server package -- pl/tcl
is in the tcl package).
