base36 sequence

I'm very new to pgsql but I was wondering if it is possible to use 
CREATE SEQUENCE to make auto-increment base36 values for my ID column 
[varchar(252)]. I don't see any base convert function, though. 
Obviously, the reason I'm doing this is so as to maintain hierarchy. Is 
it possible or will I have to increment the sequence outside of pgsql?

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
   (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
