Or if you are fine running the 9.5 instance at port 5432, what happens
if you do?:

psql -d postgres -U some_user -p 5432

$ psql -d postgres -U rshepard -p 5432
Password for user rshepard: FATAL:  password authentication failed for
user "rshepard"
DETAIL:  User "rshepard" has no password assigned.
    Connection matched pg_hba.conf line 80: "local   all             all

psql: FATAL:  password authentication failed for user "rshepard"

but,

$ psql -d postgres -U postgres -p 5432
Password for user postgres: psql (9.5.4)
Type "help" for help.

postgres=#

  So, it appears to be a password issue. Please advise me how to get the
running postmaster process to accept my accessing databases without a
password being required.

Adrian already answered that. You can set the connection authentication method to trust. This can have some risks, however.

Thanks again,
