You need to compile PostgreSQL with SSL support, and configure
pg_hba.conf appropriately. The comments in the provided pg_hba.conf
indicate:
# ... Note that a "host"
# record will also allow SSL connections; write "hostssl" if you want to
# accept *only* SSL-secured connections from this host or hosts.
If you wanted to be really sure, you could do some packet sniffing...
