I think you want something like:

Edit /path/to/postgresql-source/src/includes/pg_config.h.in:
     #define INDEX_MAX_KEYS 32

Then:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/010.pgsql.sh stop
cd /path/to/postgresql-source
./configure --your-configure-options
make all
make install
initdb -D /path/to/postgresql-data
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/010.pgsql.sh start

HTH,
