Actually, as I've stated many times before, and why I continue to argue
against the "mega distribution", I *know* that ppl using the *BSDs
download them indivdually, as that is how our ports are built:

drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 Feb  4 04:59 p5-postgresql-plperl
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 Feb  4 04:59 postgresql-plpython
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel  512 Jan 31 04:59 postgresql-plruby
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 Feb  4 04:59 postgresql-pltcl

Unless postgresql isn't already installed ...

In fact, a total break down right now o four ports looks like:

drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel   512 Feb  4 04:59 p5-postgresql-plperl
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel   512 Feb  4 04:59 postgresql-contrib
