multiple postgresql servers in multiple jails?

Yes, you must configure them to use different port numbers,
because the SysV IPC IDs are derived from the port number.
If you try to run both servers with the default port, you'll
get a conflict.  Configure different port numbers, and it
will work.

By the way, the PostgreSQL developers do _not_ recommend to
run multiple servers on the same machine, because of bad
efficiency.  It is much better (performance-wise) to run
all databases within the same server engine.  PostgreSQL
has all the authentication and permission features you need
to separate multiple databases within a single server, so
there is really no need to use multiple jails.

I have these on a machine with a single PostgreSQL server,
as per recommendations of the developers:

options         SHMMAXPGS=65536
options         SEMMAP=1024
options         SEMMNI=64
options         SEMMNS=1024
options         SEMUME=64
options         SEMMNU=128
