Thanks for the link. We do already have a plist file - the only sensible
option I can think of is to add /usr/local/pgsql/bin (and whereever the
dports version installs if it's different) to the path in it and hope
the user installs PostgreSQL there. We can always include a note in the
docs explaining how to adjust it if required.

Unless anyone has a better idea? Florian or Richard perhaps?
