Yes - install postgres from scratch. I had problems with several
packages and with the fink version (it conflicted with another CMS I
use, Bricolage). I built postgres on my mac using pointers from David
Wheeler's (not the gravitational physicist, but the perl coder) pages
for Bricolage. When I switched back to Zope, I used that same install
for development. I also installed the psycopg database adaptor (which
rocks) on my mac.

Here's apple's doc on it:
http://developer.apple.com/internet/macosx/postgres.html

but I didn't do it that way...

and here's what I did to install psycopg on mac os x:

Hope that helps!
