Help compiling source code

I am a longtime FreeBSD user accustomed to ports. I have never been
comfortable compiling source code except under the most vanilla of
circumstances (ie, when nothing goes wrong).
QUESTION: How can I change pam-pgsql's configure script to find pgsql's
libraries?
The machine in question is a Powerbook G4 (PowerPC) running Mac OS 10.4.11.
I am using MacPorts (equivalent of ports). One small piece of software
(available in FreeBSD ports) is a lynchpin of my entire operation -
pam-pgsql.
Pam-pgsql gives me virtual email users which are easily shared between
Postfix and Cyrus IMAP while letting me use my SQL backend of preference -
PostgreSQL.
There is no macport available for pam-pgsql, so I must compile the source
myself. It is not working. My hunch is that the fix is simple - something
with paths, because macports installs PostgreSQL at weird paths and the
pam-pgsql configure script expects a standard location.

I already tried changing /usr to /opt in configure.in, that didn't work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
