You can´t export a geodatabase ( i supose your model is just that) by odbc, because the geometric logic is not transfered ( can you export a geodatabase in arcgis to postgis?) I think you have to rewrite the model, adapting it to postgis. Is a hard work, but the you can use the postgresql full potential ( triggers, views, etc.. ) to make your model more powerfull, smaller and dynamic. In my experience, this work simplifies the model, and you can make it "real-time", user adapted, etc...

I´ve posted a long time ago a question about postgis models. I imagine all postgis community members working alone, creating complex functions and schemas to solve their problems and... reinventing the wheel. Perhaps it´s time to create especific projects to create ( or traduce ) schemas and functions for various cases. I know the wiki, but i think in environmental members creating schemas, functions to solve environmental questions( for instance). At this time each of them has to walk his way alone ...

It´s just an opinion :)
