(I presume you are either consing up the path or substituting it with
autoconf.)

My understanding is slightly fuzzy, but I think that defines the
guile-pg symbols in the (database postgres) module, but will not
necessarily export them.  The 1.4-style module loading seems to do the
equivalent of define-public.  I did make guile-pg work with a scheme
load file as you write above once, and I also had a number of export
statements.
