psql uses libpq, and libpq uses lots of env. variables to set connection parameters, PGPASSWORD is one of them:

http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/libpq-envars.html

Environement section of psql(1) should have link to this page, and probably mention some variables like PGPASSWORD.

Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release: 8.04

postgresql-client-8.3=8.3.3-0ubuntu0.8.04
