I did it once, a year ago:
 - import the data into MS Access
 - export the data from Access as text delimited (and choose a
   delimiter that doesn't occur in your data)
 - run a perl or sed script to change anything that needs to be changed
   (like date values or field order)
 - create the table schema in PostgreSQL
 - import the text files using psql and the COPY FROM command
There might be an easier way by accessing Postgres directly from Access 
through ODBC. It might be slower, though :->
Hope that helps a bit.
