>it will require a port to be open for the DB, even if only locally

Surely it supports AF_UNIX sockets?

It does. The default PostgreSQL installation binds to port 5432 (I can't recall if that's loopback only, or global), but it can easily be disabled and use AF_UNIX sockets only.

I wasn't aware of that. Thanks!
