Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 John replied by email saying:

 version. But I could be wrong.

 But if that's so, then why does the mapserver portfile say:

 {{{
 variant postgis description {Add support for postgis sources} {
     set PGSQL_DIR [lindex [lsort -dec [glob -nocomplain -d ${prefix}/lib
 postgresql*]] 0]
     configure.args-append   "--with-postgis=${PGSQL_DIR}/bin/pg_config"
 }
 }}}

 Either mapserver needs to know the path to a particular postgresql's
 `pg_config` file, or it doesn't...
