After toying with a few builds of the up coming OS X 10.3 (Panther) release, I've written a doc on how to get postgresql to build using Panther build 7B85 and Xcode build 7B85 (which are rumored to be the gold master and the builds that will be shipping later this month).
Two things needed to be hacked to get postgresql to build from darwinports, and I'm assuming the same fixes would apply to a build from a .tar.gz. Essentially, a header file installed by Apple's Xcode devel tools needs to be edited, and the template for darwin needs a line removed. This fix is also known to work with OS X 10.3 build 7B85 and Xcode 7B68. Whilst I'm not in a position to analyse the root cause of why these hacks are needed, this doc is simply a quick and dirty guide to hacking it together.
Scenario ========
Fresh install of OS X 10.3 7B85 Fresh install of Xcode 7B85

Workaround ----------
howrare:~ jwilson$ sudo cp /usr/include/ppc/param.h /usr/include/ppc/param.h_pgfix
howrare:~ jwilson$ sudo vim /usr/include/ppc/param.h
* Go to line 90 (Type '90gg')
Note this section:
/* bytes to pages */
#define btoc(x) (((unsigned)(x)+(PGOFSET))>>PGSHIFT)
#ifdef __APPLE__
#define btodb(bytes, devBlockSize) \
((unsigned)(bytes) / devBlockSize)
#define dbtob(db, devBlockSize) \
((unsigned)(db) * devBlockSize)
#else
#define btodb(bytes) /* calculates (bytes / DEV_BSIZE) */ \
((unsigned)(bytes) >> DEV_BSHIFT)
#define dbtob(db) /* calculates (db * DEV_BSIZE) */ \
((unsigned)(db) << DEV_BSHIFT)
#endif
It seems that __APPLE__ is defined somehow (perhaps it should be) when postgres is compiling. Hence, the btodb macros are expecting two args and getting only one. The quick and dirty fix is to remove the ifdef __APPLE__ portion of the code and leave it such that the only macros defined are the single arg ones.
Hence, delete these lines:
#ifdef __APPLE__
#define btodb(bytes, devBlockSize) \
((unsigned)(bytes) / devBlockSize)
#define dbtob(db, devBlockSize) \
((unsigned)(db) * devBlockSize)
#elseAnd then delete the "#endif" line at the end of that section of code (Just above the comment block for the next section which starts with "Map a ``block device block``"
As such, after deleting the lines the code section at line 90 and beyond should look like this:
/* bytes to pages */
#define btoc(x) (((unsigned)(x)+(PGOFSET))>>PGSHIFT)
#define btodb(bytes) /* calculates (bytes / DEV_BSIZE) */ \
((unsigned)(bytes) >> DEV_BSHIFT)
#define dbtob(db) /* calculates (db * DEV_BSIZE) */ \
((unsigned)(db) << DEV_BSHIFT)
Now save the file (:w! to override the read-only) and try the build of postgresql again. This time it will fail with a precompiler error.

Solution --------
The gcc in 10.3's Xcode behaves differently (perhaps properly) with the -traditional-cpp flag. I.e it doesn't allow use of the '##' token not available in traditional c/c++. The solution was to edit the template file for darwin in src/template and just removed the 'CC="$CC -traditional-cpp"' definition all together.
sudo vim {DarwinPortsDir}/dports/databases/postgresql/work/postgresql-7.3.2/src/ template/darwin
Remove the following line:
CC="$CC -traditional-cpp"
Of course, the {DarwinPortsDir}/dports/databases/postgresql/work/ .darwinports.postgresql.state file then needs to be edited to cause a reconfigure of the source with the new template.
sudo vim {DarwinPortsDir}/dports/databases/postgresql/work/ .darwinports.postgresql.state
Remove the following lines:
target: com.apple.configure
Try the build of postgresql again, DO NOT clean it, just try the install again.

Best of luck (was re: works for me.)
