                 --bindir=${libdir}/bin \

 After install the pgsql executables are all in
 /opt/local/lib/postgresql83/bin/psql instead of /opt/local/bin. This is
 pretty annoying since I have to add the pg-specific bin dir to my path.

 Why aren't these droppped into bin/? Is there a name conflict with
 executables from other ports? Do you want to preserve the ability to run
 multiple pg's side-by-side?

 I would be OK with that decision but at least you should provide a variant
 to directly install the executables into the bin dir.
