Thanks for your report

Open your terminal and enter (copy and paste is better):

% install_name_tool -change /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.3.dylib 
/usr/local/grasslib/lib/libpq.3.dylib 
/Applications/Grass/grass61cvs.app/Contents/Resources/grass-6.1.cvs/driver/db/pg

... and press return

I'll fix this problem in the next release.

Try and you can use PgSQL.

Bye
