Looking at the pg_dump code, it seems the fseeks are optional in there

But there are features that are not available if it can't seek: eg. it will not restore in a different order to that in which it was written; it will not dump data offsets in the TOC so dump files can not be restored in alternate orders; restore times will be large for a single table (it has to read the entire file potentially).
