> Actually, I do not care about which version of the databases the port depends on, which are installed either inside or outside of MacPorts. Especially, PostgreSQL 9.0.4 is pre-installed on Lion (10.7.2), and I think we do not have to install it with MacPorts all the way.

MacPorts policy is to use MacPorts versions of libraries, not those that might be included in certain versions of OS X. This creates more predictable ports across OS versions.
