did you follow the instructions to create a database instance that the
postgresql84-server port printed?
(incidentally, they should be moved to notes instead of post-install so that
port notes postgresql84-server would print them again).
It would have said something like this:
To create a database instance, after install do
sudo mkdir -p /opt/local/var/db/postgresql84/defaultdb
sudo chown postgres:postgres /opt/local/var/db/postgresql84/defaultdb
sudo su postgres -c '$/opt/local/lib/postgresql84/bin/initdb -D
/opt/local/var/db/postgresql84/defaultdb'
To tweak your DBMS, consider increasing kern.sysv.shmmax
by adding an increased kern.sysv.shmmax .. to /etc/sysctl.conf

I believe if launchd has trouble starting something it will print some error
text in /var/log/system.log
