Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 Looking at this further, I see the tests probably never worked since the
 portfile says "test.run no".

 I think the portfile was making assumptions about the current working
 directory. Fixing that and a few other details gets us much further, to
 the postgresql server actually starting and the tests being run. But they
 all fail with:

 {{{
 Exception: FATAL:  database "test_libpqxx" does not exist
 }}}

 I haven't read the documentation so I don't know what's expected to
 happen, but what I observe to happen is:

  1. "initdb" creates a directory in which postgresql can store databases,
 and creates the minimal system databases required
  2. "pg_ctl start" starts postgresql pointed at that directory for storage
  3. "make" check runs tests against a particular database which it expects
 to already exist

 So it seems like we need a step up there between 2 and 3 to actually
 create that database.
