The patches have got committed upstream and work well for Postgres. You 
can take FreeBSD indent(1) as of SVN r303746, apply patches from 
https://github.com/pstef/freebsd_indent/commits/pass2 (subject to heavy 
rebasing) and use as pg_bsd_indent for pgindent.

There are more fixes I intend to do, of which the most relevant for 
Postgres are:
1) fixing "function pointer typedef formatting"
2) adding a -tsn option like in GNU indent, for setting how many columns 
a tab character will produce. I had a preliminary patch implementing 
that and I have to say that while it removes the need for entab, it also 
introduces a lot of seemingly pointless changes in formatting which will 
be arguably improvements or regressions.
