Then you have done something non-standard, because "cc" on FreeBSD does
not look in /usr/local/include or /usr/local/lib without being told to
do so, and the configure checks for readline will fail without that.
Possible explanations include having a "gcc" (without a specific version
suffix) on the $PATH (gcc will be chosen over cc in that case), or
having configured CFLAGS or CPPFLAGS in the environment to ./configure.

You might post your full output of ./configure rather than leaving us to
guess at it.

"cc" on FreeBSD is now (and has been for quite some time) clang: root@NewFS:/home/karl # cc -v

FreeBSD clang version 6.0.1 (tags/RELEASE_601/final 335540) (based on LLVM 6.0.1)
Target: x86_64-unknown-freebsd12.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /usr/bin

If it will compile Postgres now it definitely would not when it was first shifted to; gcc, on the other hand (and gmake) does just fine and yes, they are ports (packages in this case as they're binary installs on this box) and not part of the base system:

root@NewFS:/home/karl # which gcc
/usr/local/bin/gcc
root@NewFS:/home/karl # gcc -v

I'll spin up a test machine on a "virgin" install when I get one free from other things and see exactly what I have to put on there in terms of ports.

In any event with the removal of the openssl port it now configures, compiles, links and runs.

config.log makes clear it is using gcc (as did the blowup)

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by PostgreSQL configure 11.2, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.69.  Invocation command line was

  $ ./configure --with-openssl --with-perl
