You could look at how phppgadmin (http://phppgadmin.sf.net) does it.

You could also look at using a script to do the conversion for you:
http://pgfoundry.org/projects/my2postgres/

and this may also help out in the short term:

You'd probably get better responses on one of the postgresql lists:
http://www.postgresql.org/community/lists/ (probably -general)
