Yes, it would be ideal if it was handled by shp2pgsql but have you 
looked at:

http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&newwindow=1&safe=off&q=dbf2pgsql&btnG=Search
http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&newwindow=1&safe=off&q=dbf2psql&btnG=Search
http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&newwindow=1&safe=off&q=dbf2sql&btnG=Search

some of these might be helpful.

Best regards,
