If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/postgresql85
%  sudo port install postgresql85  
Password: 

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching postgresql85
--->  Verifying checksum for postgresql85
--->  Extracting postgresql85
--->  Configuring postgresql85
--->  Building postgresql85 with target all

--->  Staging postgresql85 into destroot

--->  Installing postgresql85

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using postgresql85 with these commands:

%  man postgresql85
%  apropos postgresql85
%  which postgresql85
%  locate postgresql85
