There is no "hard coding" about it; it's just a matter of what -D switch
the postmaster is started with.

Perhaps you should use the RPM distribution then.
ftp://ftp8.us.postgresql.org/postgresql/binary/v8.2.4/linux/rpms/fedora/
The source distribution is platform-agnostic and does not include a
Fedora-style start script, so unless you are prepared to provide one,
an RPM is a better idea.
