Yes, but pgpool isn't always an option. If you use Heroku's Postgres service, you do not have sufficient privileges to run the commands to attach to software like pgpool.
The only way we were able to get connection pooling working in django 1.3/1.4 was to use django-dbpool[0]. It works okay, but is still pretty sketchy compared to the connection pooling libraries available for the JVM like BoneCP or C3P0.
