I guess that the include path you need is /Library/PostgreSQL/8.3/include/server.
Where in the documentation did you find the path?
I read the following in
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/xfunc-c.html#AEN40954
"Use pg_config --includedir-server to find out where the
PostgreSQL server header files are installed on your system"
What is the result of "pg_config --includedir-server" for you?
