I am not convinced anyone who is serious about postgresql uses the
ports for reasons outlined in a prior post. However, they certainly
are used in the ports (FreeBSD 6.2, ports cvsup'd about 2 mins ago):

=========== BACKUP YOUR DATA! =============
As always, backup your data before
upgrading. If the upgrade leads to a higher
minor revision (e.g. 7.3.x -> 7.4), a dump
and restore of all databases is
required. This is *NOT* done by the port!

Press ctrl-C *now* if you need to pg_dump.
