Here are a few changes to the installation layout for your approval.
  The *.sample files and the initdb input files (BKI) should go into  PREFIX/share, not lib. Since only initdb has to
knowabout this there  should be no problems. As for finding these files, the easiest and safest  method would be to
substitutethis path into initdb at build time.  Override with -L is of course possible. (The "lib" mnemonic would be
gone, think of it as "location".)
 

As a point of reference, the NetBSD pkgsrc package for postgresql
already puts the following in /usr/pkg/share/postgresql:
    global1.bki.source    global1.description    local1_template1.bki.source    local1_template1.description

Cheers,
Brook
