Yes...hee hee...the pg developers are mostly bsd heads and often guilty
of gratuitous but good natured linux bashing.  Bad pun intended.
Grab the src tarball from www.postgresql.org and build as usual.

NOTE:

Beware of not reading reading the BSD FAQ that comes with postgres.
It explains that you will need a kernel rebuild to fire up the server.
It seems that only one of the three system v options available comes
with the GENERIC kernel.  At EOF of GENERIC you'll see:

options		SYSVSHM

You also need:

options		SYSVSEM
options		SYSVMSG

Add these two and rebuild...else the missing semaphores will cause
postmaster to dump core.


Cheers,
Tom
