Probably you're looking for the postgresql82 and postgresql82-server  
ports. I don't know enough about postgresql to comment on why the old  
versions are still around (much less the default), though.

If they've been moved off of the main FTP server for the project,  
then that's probably an indication that they no longer support the  
7.x branch, so perhaps we should not either.
