PostgreSQL should get the same results as the command-line sort for the
same values of LC_COLLATE. However, the value is fixed at initdb time
so maybe that's what's confusing you.
However, MacOS X inherited FreeBSDs locale setup, which is fairly lame.
They've made many improvements though so your problem should be
fixable.
BTW, you didn't actually say what locale you where using...
Have a nice day,
