I have now tried at least 7 different install methods to get pg up and running 
on Lion. I fear that my system is now thoroughly inoculated and will never be 
able to run postgres/postgis.

I started with the pg mac installer / stack builder. That worked to get pg 
installed, but could not get postgis installed.

I've now tried two different instructions using MacPort, Two using homebrew, 
and two using some-other-macport-homebrew-like method.

NONE of them worked for me. I can see postgress running from the last install:

postgres: writer process    

But continue to see this when using psql:
psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
        Is the server running locally and accepting
        connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

Is there anyone who has ever successfully gotten postgres/postGIS running on 
Mac Lion? Really? How? 
Is there a way to purge my system of all of the corrupted/bad installs and 
start over? How?

How do I get pgadmin if I use homebrew/macports etc?

Would love to believe this is possible, as I cannot stand having to stop 
whatever I'm doing every 3-4 days to repair Windows. I hate Windows. I loath 
Windows, and would love to see the U.S. Economy rebound from all of the 
production gained by everyone universally abandoning Windows…
