Ummmm do we really want to start adding unsupported ports into PostGIS? 
According to the PostgreSQL repository at 
http://anoncvs.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql/src/Makefile.shlib?rev=1.117;content-type=text%2Fplain 
dragonfly isn't even listed, and so the dragonfly PostgreSQL packages 
must be being customised by the dragonfly maintainers to add this extra 
port information. So if you are customising the PostgreSQL packages then 
I don't see why you are surprised at having to do the same with the 
PostGIS packages.

The good thing is that in SVN trunk, PGXS will automatically pick up the 
Makefile.shlib from PostgreSQL and so this will no longer be an issue 
moving forward.


ATB,

Mark.
