postgres on a FreeBSD 4.5 box

I've installed postgres 7.1.3 on a FreeBSD 4.5 box using the ports
system, I just can't seem to get it working.

su-2.05a# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/010.pgsql.sh status
pg_ctl: postmaster or postgres is not running
su-2.05a# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/010.pgsql.sh start
pg_ctl: postmaster does not start

(It takes a few seconds for the "postmaster does not start" to be
printed to the terminal, in the
mean-time I try to start psql at the prompt in someother terminal and
get the following:
[ken(at)localdev ken]$ psql
psql: connectDBStart() -- connect() failed: Connection refused
Is the postmaster running locally
and accepting connections on Unix socket '/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432'?
[ken(at)localdev ken]$ ls -l /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432*
srwxrwxrwx 1 postgres wheel 0 Oct 30 15:48 /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432
-rw------- 1 postgres wheel 28 Oct 30 15:48 /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432.lock
[ken(at)localdev ken]$ uname -a
FreeBSD localdev.stockbyte.com 4.5-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE #0: Mon

murray(at)builder(dot)freebsdmall(dot)com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC i386

What do I need to do to get this working?
