What about something less than a requirement then? If you have it great,
you can run these extra tests. If you don't have it, no harm, no foul.

We could even bundle DBI and DBD::Pg to ensure that the minimum versions
are there. All the prerequisites should be in place for 99% of the machines:
a C compiler and Perl are the biggies, and I can't see any buildfarm members
running without those. :)
