Regina, Leo, Chris, I had previously installed from packages on Ubuntu Linux, which means Postgres 8.2 and PostGIS 1.2 (repositories aren't up to date). I just decided to build everything from source (Postgres, Proj4, GEOS, and PostGIS), and SRID 4269 is in spatial_ref_sys. I don't think it was there previously, but then again, I might have missed it. I did SELECT * FROM spatial_ref_sys WHERE srtext LIKE '%NAD83'; but if 4269 was in the results, I didn't spot it. So, if I understand correctly, I should run shp2pgsql with -s 4269 in order to import the shapefiles that I download from the census.
