Hi Marco,

I would insert the next line, because it is common for Postgres ports
for years now, to hold the distfiles under distfiles/postgresql/

DIST_SUBDIR=	postgresql

I think, the following line is not necessary, the port fetches and build
fine without it:

Most of the needed stuff seems to be under ${WORKSRC}/runtime and
${WORKSRC}/web.

HTH a little bit.
