I looked into this more, and I'm guessing the answer is "yes". Looks like PostGIS 1.5.3 can be used with Postgres 9.1 beta.
I assume that the index used by Postgres has no bearing on how PostGIS performs. Is this true? However, it may not be true because Postgres will need additional support from PostGIS to handle GIST indexes on geometry objects?
