Thing is, if you install OpenSolaris or Solaris 10 PostgreSQL is simply
there. There's no additional packages required. I also think there are
enough sources that some of this should be organized by OS. So:

Solaris users can get PostgreSQL from <a
href="http://www.blastwave.org/packages.php/postgresql">Blastwave</a>.
For users of Solaris 10 update 2 or later, PostgreSQL is simply included.

The OSX references should be reorganized to:

Mac OSX users can get PostgreSQL packages from <a
href="http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/postgresql">Fink</a>, <a
href="http://www.macports.org/">MacPorts</a>, or
<http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/postgresql/>Entropy.ch</a>.
