I can't speak specifically to postgresql, but it looks like you have run into an inconsistency in the ports tree; which happens regularly but usually a portsnap fetch + update some (indeterminate) time later will clear it up. This thread gives a hint that there's an opportune time to update, but it's not clear to me when that is: https://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=415100+0+archive/2016/freebsd-ports/20161120.freebsd-ports I've had mostly good luck syncing during the weekend, but haven't narrowed it down to the beginning or end of that period. success.
