The postmaster is being started "postmaster ... >> /usr/local/pgsql/logfile 2>&1", and the messages are appearing in /usr/local/pgsql/logfile. They do not appear in the syslog. I just assumed it was Postgres doing this, but it must be a message the OS is writing from the postmaster's process. Sounds like I need the assistance of an OS X expert, I'll try some OS X related discussion groups.
