I am very happy to hear that!  Where can I read about that effort?
Hmm.  Did you mean to write 10?  The 9.6 package seems to have the
same problem as the rest of them, with binaries and libraries etc
installed at the traditional paths that mean only one major version
can be installed at a time:

munro at obelix $ pkg list postgresql96-server | grep bin/postgres
/usr/local/bin/postgres
