My configure errors were in PostGIS, not in Postgres. As you can see  
below, with a simple ./configure, pgis configure script did not find  
Postgres location (pg_config)... Could somebody explain whats wrong  
(or not) here ?

Would be great !!! For specific stuff around unix ports (mainly  
postgres in our case) and Mac OS X, you can have a look at http:// 
www.entropy.ch. Very great site for Mac users (sorry if it's a little  
of topic).
