The only way I see is using a system-maintained ( through a before-insert and if necessary before-update trigger ) field that is set to to_char(<date_column>,'mm') and then range partition on that.

Is it possible in 9.2 to partition on a function?

I have a table with a date column and I would like to partition
by month, regardless of the year. For example, data from January
2003 or January 2004 would go into the same partition. Any
sneaky ideas on how to accomplish this without changing the data
structures.
