There isn't anything difficult about installing readline from source on Panther. Untar, configure, make, sudo make install.
Alternatively you can just configure postgres --without-readline. psql is a lot less pleasant to use without it, but if you don't use psql much you may not care.

One would think this to be the case. I keep getting the following link error
warning -dylib_install_name /usr/local/lib/libreadline.4.3.dylib not found in segment address table LD_SEG_ADDR_TABLE /sw/var/lib/fink/prebound/seg_addr_table
This is really a readline issue not a postgres issue. I will be using psql quite often thus readline is very key to my sanity. :-)
I was able to compile the fink version so for now I'll just use that and of course postgres configure is happy with it.
It just doesn't make sense that Apple would take the time to build bash and not bother to include the readline library. I wonder if they've modified readline a little and therefore use a static version. I guess I could go look at the source in Darwin and see. Even with all of this trouble I still think OS X beats a cygwined Windows for a client machine.
Thanks again everyone for your help.
