I'm just trying to access a remote postgresql database on port 5432, which does not appear to be open on the remote computer. I'm on a MacOSX and cannot figure out for the life of me how to open up this port on the computer.

It's not clear what kind is the remote machine. Is it a Mac? If so, and its firewall is on, you may need to open up port 5432. If you have physical access to that machine, you can do this in System Preferences -> Sharing -> Firewall. I can give more details if necessary.
