0: what bsd are you running, include version #, uname -rs or even
better uname -a
1: the script command is your friend, man script
2: how did you build the port, make then make install or portinstall 
3: update your ports tree, almost never hurts
4: are you running the native ports tree or using pkgsrc as an addon?

my somewhat old ports tree on fbsd 5.4 has 8.0.3 for the postgres package.

post the output of the script command after you have updated the ports
tree, if you are still having problems.

happy hacking,

marc
