If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/postgresql83
%  sudo port install postgresql83  
Password: 

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching postgresql83
--->  Verifying checksum for postgresql83
--->  Extracting postgresql83
--->  Configuring postgresql83
--->  Building postgresql83 with target all

--->  Staging postgresql83 into destroot

--->  Installing postgresql83

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using postgresql83 with these commands:

%  man postgresql83
%  apropos postgresql83
%  which postgresql83
%  locate postgresql83
