There are three main package management systems for OS X - Fink,
MacPorts and Homebrew. Most people swear by one and swear at the
others. If you want a more Linux-like package management experience,
one of these will be the way to go; if you just need PostgreSQL
up and running, one of the binary application installers
may be easier to manage.
There's a useful overview of options here in case you haven't already
seen it:

Personally I build from source for development work and Macports for
general package management.
