That's a configure line that has never worked on FreeBSD:

% ./configure --with-openssl --with-perl
[...]
configure: error: readline header not found
If you have libedit already installed, see config.log for details on the
failure.  It is possible the compiler isn't looking in the proper directory.
Use --without-readline to disable libedit support.

Uh, it has worked on all my FreeBSD systems for a very long time; I've been running Postgres as the backend for a web forum/blogging system for the last many years.  Then again:

[karl@NewFS ~]$ pkg info|grep readline
readline-7.0.5                 Library for editing command lines as they are typed
