John,

The GDAL web site includes building instructions.  To includes
postgresql/postgis you should include the --with-pg configuration
option when configuring.  If the pg_config script for postgresql is
in an odd location, you can point to it.

eg.
   ./configure --with-pg=/opt/mytree/bin/pg_config

Best regards,
