Yes. This is a comment from the source
(src/interfaces/jdbc/org/postgresql/Field.java):

"This table holds the org.postgresql names for the types
supported. Any types that map to Types.OTHER (eg POINT) don't go
into this table. They default automatically to Types.OTHER"

Have you seen this documentation already?
http://www.ca.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/7.1/programmer/jdbc-ext.html
("8.6.2. Geometric Data Types"). 

I haven't used this feature myself, so I'm not sure if the
documentation is of any help regarding your problem.
