I think --with-extra-version would do exactly the right thing for you:
./configure --with-extra-version=' (FooNix 1.2.3)'
make
make install
$ psql --version
psql (PostgreSQL) 11devel (FooNix 1.2.3)
$ psql
psql (11devel (FooNix 1.2.3))
Type "help" for help.
=# select version();
PostgreSQL 11devel (FooNix 1.2.3) on ..., compiled by ...
=# show server_version;
11devel (FooNix 1.2.3)
=# show server_version_num;
110000
