I am thinking they could untar into a directory under pgsgl/ or have a way to point to a 'configure'-run source tree and pull values from there.
If you include pg_config.h, or use Makefile.global, you have almost
everything you need to compile your own, including flags, configure
checks, and the location of the installation directory.
That would work only if they compiled the source themselves, as opposed to using a binary package (which is very common). I'm not sure if installing the postgresql-dev or postgresql-devel package would be enough.
If not, maybe pg_config could provide all the necessary info ...
The pieces of the current build environment, used or possibly required by any contrib module (including scripts like mkldexport.sh and such) whold have to be installed under $datadir/devel or the like and made location independent. That's all.
