I know this is not what you wanted but you can just do:

yum --installroot=/some/misc/place install postgresql-server

and yum will just print out, for confirmation a list of the packages
needed to install postgresql-server.

since you're doing it into an empty chroot then you know you'll get
every package that is absolutely required.
