Should I expect any problems resulting from building 7.3.2 on HP-UX 11.00
using the --without-readline and --without-zlib? [The build went fine and
for the first time ever, all regression tests passed, even geometry.]

The INSTALL file explains what you are missing:

--without-readline

Prevents the use of the Readline library. This disables command-
line editing and history in psql, so it is not recommended.

--without-zlib

Prevents the use of the Zlib library. This disables compression
support in pg_dump. This option is only intended for those rare
systems where this library is not available.
