This:

% head /usr/ports/databases/postgresql74-server/pkg-plist-server
bin/initdb
bin/initlocation
bin/ipcclean
bin/pg_controldata
bin/pg_ctl
bin/pg_id
bin/pg_resetxlog
bin/postgres
bin/postmaster
etc/periodic/daily/502.pgsql

...suggests it will be put in /usr/local/bin/initdb (modulo $ 
{LOCALBASE}, if changed)-- try doing a rehash if needed.  :-)
