The goal is not duplication, but separation, so that you can

and postgresql83-server ports, and the mysql5 and mysql5-server
ports (now committed), for examples.
Got it, thanks! Not clear on postgresql83-server, that is a pretty
large port to only install a start up item. Why isnt all that work
happening in the postgresql83 port?
You can ask the maintainer of postgresql83-server for confirmation,
but presumably, everything the postgresql83-server port does is
required only when PostgreSQL is used as a server, and is not needed
when used only as a client.
