I know it's too late now, but run postgresql-server in its own jail. 
Among other administrative advantages, it splits the postgresql-client 
dependency tree so you don't have to upgrade your database server every 
time the Ports Tree bumps PGSQL_DEFAULT.  PostgreSQL clients tend to 
have excellent backward compatibility, so as a rule the server just 
needs to be a supported version.
