Ahh, this explains the differences and as to why it works where it shouldn't?
freshports.org=> select setting, source from pg_settings where name = 'default_text_search_config';
setting | source
-------------------+---------
pg_catalog.simple | default
(1 row)

freshports.devgit=# select setting, source from pg_settings where name = 'default_text_search_config';
setting | source
--------------------+--------------------
pg_catalog.english | configuration file
(1 row)
