Split the postgresql ports into a server and a client part. The
following knobs can be used by ports depending on PostgreSQL:

# USE_PGSQL     - Add PostgreSQL client dependency.
#                 If no version is given (by the maintainer via the port or
#                 by the user via defined variable), try to find the
#                 currently installed version.  Fall back to default if
#                 necessary (PostgreSQL-7.4 = 74).
# DEFAULT_PGSQL_VER
#               - PostgreSQL default version. Can be overridden within a port.
#                 Default: 74.
# WANT_PGSQL_VER
#               - Maintainer can set an arbitrary version of PostgreSQL by
#                 using it.
# BROKEN_WITH_PGSQL
#               - This variable can be defined if the ports doesn't support
#                 one or more versions of PostgreSQL.

Note that a periodic script is installed that will, by default, vacuum
all databases nightly. You may want to tweak the settings, see the
script at ${LOCALBASE}/etc/periodic/daily/502.pgsql

To run PostgreSQL at boot time, set postgresql_enable=yes in /etc/rc.conf.

Another step along the road to the postgresql new world order.

Note that none of these ports are (yet) hooked into the tree,
and will not compile unless you set a specific environmental
variable.  This should be warning enough to leave well alone
for now :)
