Comment (by apinstein at mac.com):

 Thanks! Yeah, for what it's worth, we discovered this when installing
 macports postgres on a box where a different postgres had already been
 installed from source and installed according to the postgres
 instructions. So the system already had a "postgres" user with no shell,
 and the MacPorts postgres wouldn't run. The su vs sudo thing didn't cause
 any error messages to be shown, either, so it took a few hours to realize
 what was going on. Hopefully this will help save others some time and be
 more secure.
