Yes, Ryan, the receipt contained a syntax problem, related to the long_description. I created a ticket about that problem, where I noted my solution (#16619).
I've now created a new ticket to incorporate a port for libpqxx, Ticket #16621. It installs and uninstalls for me. It should be fully tested for functional integrity against the postgresql83 port. I've not had time to configure and run the functional tests. Thanks!
