New description:

 There are several postgresql extensions (listed below), building against
 various branches of postgresql as subports or variants implemented in
 their own portfile.
 It would be graceful if there is a postgresql portgroup, providing unified
 implement like handling python or perl5 packages.

 * build as various subports
   * pgpointcloud
   * pgrouting
   * postgis3
   * timescaledb waiting https://github.com/macports/macports-
 ports/pull/26055
 * build as various variants, many of them could convert to subports
   * libpqxx
   * octave-database
   * osm2pgsql
   * pg_rman
   * pgAdmin3
   * postgis
   * postgis2
   * psqlODBC
   * qore-pgsql-module
 - only build against the latest postgresql branch
   * iplike
   * libzdb
   - pgmodeler
   * pgtcl
   - R-adbcpostgresql
 - seems obsolete
   * BiggerSQL
   * BigSQL
