One of the ways to solve this is to have a special data type for this
purpose. Check out the mssqlext project on pgfoundry
(http://pgfoundry.org/projects/sql2pg/). In particular, check out the
"varcharci" type, that has case preserving varchars. This may provide
you with a starting point for what you are trying to do.
