Nobody's mentioned it yet, but I'm pretty sure all use of environmental
variables EXCEPT for PGDATA have been deprecated.

You need to find the postgresql.conf file your postmaster is using to
startup with (it should be in the $PGDATA directory, as defined by the
.bash_profile in the user account responsible for starting postgresql up)
and there should be a port number entry in there.
