Yep, this would be one way around it until the refactoring- however, you 
would still need to disable the TCP/IP code. There's an option to disable
the TCP/IP in pgserver's configuration, but it doesn't actually do anything
yet :(

Aside from actually doing the network code refactoring, this could be done
with some liberal use of #ifdef in net/request.c
