I got the following error installing the latest pg gem on Lion:

I fixed it by passing in a build option to the gem install command:
env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install --no-ri --no-rdoc pg -- --with-pg-config=/usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.1.2/bin/pg_config
To make bundler use this option whenever it's installing a gem you can do:
bundle config build.pg --with-pg-config=/usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.1.2/bin/pg_config
See build options in the bundler docs for a description of this.
