Do a pkg_info on the installed postgres74-client.  This should list what
package is was pulled in as a dependency for.  If that program is
actually USING the postgres support (rather than having been built with
support for it that you weren't using), you would have to carefully
migrate your data.  Otherwise, you will probably want to rebuild said
package without the postgres support, then remove the
postgresql74-client and install the postgres81 client and server.
