I just verified, the problem is there. You are relocating postgres
inside each subdirectory:
   /opt/csw/bin/postgres/
   /opt/csw/lib/postgres/
instead of confining the installation to
   /opt/csw/postgres/
as it is done for e. g. Berkeley DB. This is not a problem by itself,  
you must
however use different variables if you finegrained tune install  
variables.
$(bindir) for example is the directory where the binaries go. It is  
defined
as
   bindir_install     ?= $(exec_prefix)/bin
   bindir             ?= $(abspath $(bindir_install)/$(MM_BINDIR))
That means bindir is used directly as option to configure and GAR  
expects it
to be adjusted the way it thinks is good. If it is adjusted manually  
it can
be done by using the corresponding bindir_install variable. The  
variables
that are sensitive to this are
   bindir, sbindir, libexecdir and libdir

I adjusted your Makefile to now work fully with ISA modulations as
