Comment:

 The most current port of libgda is port libgda4 (stable version 4.0.3)
 which does in fact have the
 variant +with_postgresql83.  Will look at adding an 8.4 version.

 port libgda is very old (version 1.2.4) and should be removed as soon as
 its dependents are either
 updated or deleted themselves. So it makes no sense to spend much time
 adding new variants to this one,
 just moving its dependents to version 3 or 4 if possible.

 port libgda3 (version 3.0.4) currently exists to support applications that
 work with version 3
 but have not yet moved to version 4. It too should eventually be removed
 when the need has passed.
 It also has a +with_postgresql83 variant.

 This all being the case, I think the premise of this ticket is moot.
