We have a schemas instead - the PostgreSQL schema is close to Oracle packages.
Yes, a schema is a kind of a "namespace"-level package. Pg also has extensions, which is a group things put together, which may also contribute to packaging.
What we cannot to substitute are package variables, now - see my proposal for session variables.
I would like also to point out here that Pg has dynamic text session variables with a horrible syntax, aka user-defined GUCs. They can be the basis for more useful variables if extended with privacy/some access control, typing, better syntax, possibly some kind of persistent declarations, and so on.
