To initialize the database, run

  /usr/local/etc/rc.d/010.pgsql.sh initdb

You can then start PostgreSQL by running:

  /usr/local/etc/rc.d/010.pgsql.sh start

For postmaster settings, see ~pgsql/data/postgresql.conf

So, i followed these instructions, only to find out that the port does 
not install the above mentioned config file. When i attempted to start 
the server, i got the following error:

postmaster cannot access the server configuration file 
"/usr/local/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf": No such file or directory

and the script just hangs there, it wont even respond to ^C.

load: 0.01  cmd: pg_ctl 82652 [suspended] 0.01u 0.03s 0% 3052k
