The only time I've seen the postgis-1.4.so module fail to load on 
startup is when PostgreSQL has been unable to locate the GEOS and/or 
PROJ.4 libraries.

The first thing I would check is that if you've installed everything 
with --prefix=/usr1/local to ensure that /usr1/local/lib is in the 
currently library search path. I know you can set this in Linux with 
ldconfig and Solaris with crle, but I'm not sure about the AIX 
equivalent. Once this is set, you should then find that restarting 
PostgreSQL will then allow the PostGIS module to load.

Nice :)
