The official descriptions are at

	http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/interactive/protocol.html

for version 3.0 of the protocol,

	http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.3/interactive/protocol.html

for version 2.0, and

	http://www.postgresql.org/docs/6.3/interactive/c50.htm

for version 1.0.  I didn't check whether you'd need to know the protocol
version in order to dissect the traffic; if you do, it might be possible
to use some heuristics, and, if that's not possible, you might need a
preference setting in some cases, as there's no guarantee that a capture
will include the startup packets that give version numbers.
