please make sure to read the release notes at
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release-8-2.html
_before_ you update, it contains important information on the
changes and also on how to proceed with the update.
we will try to make the update as easy as possible using the
pkg_tools, but this information beforehand should already
help to make you aware that this is an update that we can
not completely automate. our pkg_tools are designed to
flawlessly replace software, but can of course not cope with
all data produced by third party software. you manual
intervention is required to safeguard all your data before
the update and make it available again after it.
if you are unsure and your database works well for you,
please consider if you need the update at all.

Any chance to make this the default?

Not sure about the OpenBSD libedit, but with NetBSD the Postgres clients dump core when they're linked against it.
