FreeBSD (Sean?) split PostgreSQL into several ports so you can pick only
the parts (or release) you want. There is a specific -docs port.

postgresql-client postgresql-jdbc postgresql-plruby
postgresql72
postgresql-contrib postgresql-libpq++ postgresql-pltcl
postgresql_autodoc
postgresql-devel postgresql-libpqxx postgresql-tcltk
postgresql-docs postgresql-odbc postgresql7
