The Postgre text data type is defined as unlimited

The closest I would suggest you can come to this is to use a CLOB data type in Oracle which can hold 4GB of data.
I would suggest if you need more than 4GB of data in a single column of a single row, you might want to revisit the idea of normalisation!
Seriously though, if you are doing a migration, don't expect things to work in the same way on Oracle. The way Oracle works is different in a great number of ways to PostgreSQL. Don't expect that if you faithfully copy every table and index that your system will perform and operate exactly as it did previously. You are going to need to refactor some things and you're going to need to make changes here and there. If there are glaring design issues, it might be a time to approach correcting them.
Here's a link to the Oracle docs

I'd familiarise yourself with the concepts guide as a start...
