Hmmm ... you said you're running on OS X Lion? If you are, then a lot
of these hits correspond to the postgresql code installed *by Apple*
as part of the OS, and it's likely not such a good idea to remove them.
(Yes, they ship 9.0.4 with Lion, or large chunks of it anyway. I think
you need to buy Lion Server to get a complete working server from Apple,
but all the client-side code is there in the base OS.)
It's possible to set up a user install of a different version of
Postgres without conflicting with Apple's copy, but it has to go into
different directories, such as /usr/local. Trying to remove Apple's
copy altogether doesn't sound like the way to proceed.
