I guess what you mean is to remove the "role" postgres so that you can redefine it as a normal user and not remove the binaries that are installed with Postgres as they can be overridden by having right PATH variables

Its easy... Modify /etc/user_attr and remove type=role from the postgres line and modify /etc/passwd to set a home path and change default shell to /bin/sh or /bin/bash and set password for it.. and now you have a normal user..
Is this what you are trying to do?

Hello all,
I have a software solution with a postgres database. The user postgres is abolutly needed for my software. With Solaris 10, Postgres is automatically installed and uses the user postgres. How can I easily remove the current postgres install from this Solaris 10? Is there a process which is provided from Solaris to remove it? Whats the best way to do it? Thank you for your help. Cheers Thomas **
