..but it is possible on FreeBSD to run several different tcl/tk pairs
in parallel, so it turns out that it is the better way and I can't
remeber that I have had such problems with an other package.
Personally I HATE GNU's autoconf, it is really a pain to get things
working on "non standard environments". I prefer a Makefile in which
I can set options directly. But this is my own opinion and I can
understand why others doesn't think so.

Yeah, I've build PGSQL without the ports, because there was no port
of 6.4.2 to the time I needed it, and I've got it finally working.
Another question:
Watfor is the patches directory on ftp.postgresql.org/pub ?
It contains almost nothing of the actual patches from
the -patches mailinglist.
This makes it really not simple to get a halfways actual setup
without sup/cvsup or so...
