No, 7.4 is our first release that has any idea that HPUX can run on any
hardware but HPPA. If you're desperate you could try backporting this
7.4 fix:

2003-08-01 15:12 tgl

* configure, configure.in, src/backend/port/hpux/tas.c.template,
src/backend/port/tas/hpux.s, src/backend/port/tas/hpux_hppa.s,
src/include/port/hpux.h, src/include/storage/s_lock.h: Since HPUX
now exists for Itanium, we should decouple the assumption that
OS=hpux is the same as CPU=hppa. First steps at doing this. With
these patches, we still work on hppa with either gcc or HP's cc.
We might work on hpux/itanium with gcc, but I can't test it.
Definitely will not work on hpux/itanium with non-gcc compiler, for
lack of spinlock code.
