Ah, yes, portage will remove postgresql sources after building.  So
you'll need to re-create the sources.  Probably the easiest thing to
do is:

# ebuild /usr/portage/dev-db/postgresql/postgresql-<version>.ebuild unpack

Then set the source directory to
/var/tmp/portage/dev-db/postgresql-<version>/work/postgresql-<version>

At least I think the above directory is right...basically you should
end up with the source directory under
/var/tmp/portage/cat-egory/package-version/work/

If for some reason pg_filedump needs compiled postgresql sources, you can do:

# ebuild /usr/portage/dev-db/postgresql/postgresql-<version> compile

This will let portage recompile postgresql the same way as it is
installed, so pg_filedump should be compatible.

Obviously replace all instances of <version> with the actual
postgresql version you have installed.
