Can't control PostgreSQL with RC scripts

I installed PostgreSQL 8.0.1 from ports, and now I'd like to control
it with the RC scripts.  I wasn't able to run initdb with the scripts,
I had to do that manually with the regular initdb command.  Now I've
got the db dir as /usr/local/pgsql/data, which is what it looks like
pgsql expects, but the scripts still won't start it or stop it.  They
don't produce any output either.  Any ideas on what to do?
