In the spatial_ref_sys from postgis, it is referenced as:

PROJCS["Hartebeesthoek94 /
Lo31",GEOGCS["Hartebeesthoek94",DATUM["Hartebeesthoek94",SPHEROID["WGS
84",6378137,298.257223563,AUTHORITY["EPSG","7030"]],TOWGS84[0,0,0,0,0,0,0],AUTHORITY["EPSG","6148"]],
PRIMEM["Greenwich",0,AUTHORITY["EPSG","8901"]],UNIT["degree",0.01745329251994328,AUTHORITY["EPSG","9122"]],
AUTHORITY["EPSG","4148"]],PROJECTION["Transverse_Mercator_South_Orientated"],
PARAMETER["latitude_of_origin",0],PARAMETER["central_meridian",31],PARAMETER["scale_factor",1],
PARAMETER["false_easting",0],PARAMETER["false_northing",0],UNIT["metre",1,AUTHORITY["EPSG","9001"]],
AUTHORITY["EPSG","2054"]]


and

+ellps=WGS84 +towgs84=0,0,0,0,0,0,0 +units=m +no_defs 


however, I see in the epsg file for fwtools it has:

# Hartebeesthoek94 / Lo31
# Unable to translate coordinate system EPSG:2054 into PROJ.4 format.
#

I cannot reliably translate the postgis detail to epsg - any pointers?
