Not entirely fineā€¦

Just in case anyone is trying to install Postgres on a clean install of Lion, 
you'll hit a snag at the very end of the installer that prevents the creation 
of the initial database and installation of the apps in /Applications.  Until 
the Postgres people fix this in their install script, you'll need to:

sudo dscl . -append /Users/_postgres RecordName postgres
sudo dscl . -append /Groups/_postgres RecordName postgres
sudo dscl . -change /Users/_postgres UserShell /usr/bin/false /bin/bash

The first two commands will alias the underscore username with a username/group 
the install script expects. The third line is necessary to su to the postgres 
user.  It seems all three are required prior to running the installer in order 
to get it to complete normally.
