Well, you'd have to talk to whoever built the macports installation,
but it sure sounds like you got a 64-bit build of Postgres instead
of a 32-bit build, or perhaps vice versa.  "file" applied to the
postgres executable would tell you more.

32 vs 64 bit kernel has nothing to do with 32 vs 64 bit userland.
