Thanks Tom,

./compile in the src directory created pg_config.h and pg_config_os.h for me under /src/include and my build completed successfully. ( forgot to CC the list when I thanked Peter.) FreeBSD ports aren't prebuilt packages, it's src that you run "make clean install" against. For some reason during Make, FreeBSD puts postgres.h under /src/include, but not the other two anywhere...go figure.
