Is there some other step I've missed that will get postgres to start?

Did you also follow the instructions the postgresql82-server port printed?

To create a database instance, after install do
sudo mkdir -p /opt/local/var/db/postgresql82/defaultdb
sudo chown postgres:postgres /opt/local/var/db/postgresql82/defaultdb
sudo su postgres -c '/opt/local/lib/postgresql82/bin/initdb -D /opt/ local/var/db/postgresql82/defaultdb'

To tweak your DBMS, consider increasing kern.sysv.shmmax
by adding an increased kern.sysv.shmmax .. to /etc/sysctl.conf
