Yes,
the file path says 'carbon', so this is probably 2.8.12 confined in 32-bit world. The -devel port, in 2.9.3, could fare better, but no guarantees on that.
No one knows when the devs get 3.x out (currently the dev version of pgAdmin program using wxWidgets 2.9.3 builds fine, and almost works), hopefully sooner than later.
