If you're trying to match an existing installation, be careful to
configure with the same options that the package maker used
(pg_config --configure should tell you that).

On the whole, a prebuilt package *should* provide those files for you,
just to avoid potential mistakes. Are you sure you have the whole
port package? Maybe you need a -devel subpackage or something like
that (that's where they live in RPM-land, anyway).
