What I've done is to switch to MacPorts[1] and use their packaging. I'm
building PostgreSQL then with:

--with-libraries=/opt/local/lib --with-includes=/opt/local/include

which for example links psql/libreadline with:

% otool -L $PGSQL_HOME/bin/psql
/Users/bernd/pgsql-dev/install/HEAD/bin/psql:
/Users/bernd/pgsql-dev/install/HEAD/lib/libpq.5.dylib (compatibility
version 5.0.0, current version 5.4.0)
/opt/local/lib/libintl.8.dylib (compatibility version 10.0.0, current
version 10.1.0)
/opt/local/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
version 1.0.0)
/opt/local/lib/libreadline.6.1.dylib (compatibility version 6.0.0, current
version 6.1.0)

Works quite well for me. There's also a libedit in MacPorts, but i've never
used it.
