You try to install 7.4.5 from souces over the FreeBSD Port build. The
problem is that the options to configure need to be the same. You can
see the options the port maintainer used by running the original
pg_config with --configure option.

What you have done so far and what you should undo is that you installed
a whole bunch of stuff in /usr/local/pgsql, which is an unusual location
for FreeBSD.

Then you run the configure for 7.4.5 with exactly the same options, do a
"gmake clean all" and as root "gmake install install-all-headers". Then
you restart the postmaster and are in business.
