Go to:

http://techdocs.postgresql.org/ and scroll down to "Converting from
Other Databases to PostgreSQL" - there are several links there that
specifically address MySQL conversion.

What about

contrib/mysql/mysql2pgsql

Please keep in mind, that this is just a starting point.
However small the database you're porting from MySQL is, the
fundamental misconceptions in the MySQL design usually lead
to serious implementation errors on the application side.

Forget anything you think you learned so far from the MySQL
documentation. The MySQL development team prefers to tell
people things like "referential integrity is for
documentation purposes". You could've gotten kicked out of
your CS class for repeating such bullshit. So their
"documentation" is mainly "marketing material". It actually
doesn't have much to do with relational databases.

Try pgAdmin2 (http://pgadmin.postgresql.org), it includes an odbc migration
wizard which should work with MySQL.
