I did some more digging and found this:

http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/UsersWikiSplitPolygonWithLineString

It uses some of the older function names (geomunion instead of ST_Union, and 
boundary instead of ST_Boundary), but it works.

As for splitting polylines, I found this which got me going in the right 
direction:

Thanks to Kevin (I suspect it's the same Kevin who answered both of these...)!

Subject: [postgis-users] splitting geometries

Anyone know how to split geometries in PostGIS 1.5.2? I would specifically need 
to be able to split linestrings and polygons (and the "multi" versions of both) 
using a linestring. I know there is an ST_Split function in version 2.0, but I 
need to do this in 1.5.3. Is there a multistep method that would get me the 
same thing?

Thanks,

Arnold Engelmann
