Hi Tom, Patrick
FreeBSD indeed has a config option to build with ICU, just
# /usr/ports/databases/postgresql93-server
# make config
and you will be able to see this.
The relevant README is here : http://people.freebsd.org/~girgen/postgresql-icu/README.html
Patrick also you may build postgresql by hand and apply the patch manually from : /usr/ports/databases/postgresql93-server
Although being in a non-english speaking company, i have not tried this neither at work or at home.
Hope that helps.
