You can't change shmall & shmmax after boot. They must be set during startup. If you're on a recent version of OS X, you do this in /etc/sysctl.conf.

Also the /usr/bin/postgres that you seen running is not where macports puts it and not the one you tried to start a couple of lines earlier, so you have something already installed on your system that is running a postgres instance.
