Comment(by dweber at macports.org):

 I've been puzzled by the OSX-isms for setting paths (coming from linux
 background, mainly debian).  I suppose this is a larger issue of how or
 whether macports should modify general system paths.  It seems to me, at
 least, that I like the comfort of knowing postgreSQL is enabled on the
 system path in this way.  Prior to adding this into my local port
 repository, I only had pgsql set on my user path (likewise all of macports
 was only setup for my user path, I think).

 I agree, at least, there could be a user message on how to enable this on
 the system path (perhaps a ui_msg that is specific to platform 10.5).
