Thing is, if you install OpenSolaris or Solaris 10 PostgreSQL is simply 
there.  There's no additional packages required.  I also think there are 
enough sources that some of this should be organized by OS.  So:

Solaris users can get PostgreSQL from <a 
href="http://www.blastwave.org/packages.php/postgresql">Blastwave</a>.  
For users of Solaris 10 update 2 or later, PostgreSQL is simply included.

The OSX references should be reorganized to:

Mac OSX users can get PostgreSQL packages from <a 
href="http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/postgresql">Fink</a>, <a 
href="http://www.macports.org/">MacPorts</a>, or 
<http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/postgresql/>Entropy.ch</a>.
