Run: eselect postgresql update libpq-fe.h is explicitly managed by the module.
This sort of issue keeps coming up with eselect/postgresql, so CCing postgresql maintainers.
Did 'eselect postgresql update' solve your problem? I'm trying to determine if I need to start digging into the snort ebuild or if this is truly an eselect/postgresql issue.
I have just now no access to to computer from my last posting (grizzly). On a second computer (lynx) I have the same problem.

Because you have a system that wasn't cleaned up properly from the old dev-db/{postgresql,libpq} ebuilds most likely. The way that the module determines which slots are available is by looking for key directories being in place. And the way the module is used in the ebuilds causes false positives when checking for versions using alternative methods. It isn't foolproof, and most likely never will be. (I won't write it to check for the existence of every single file and executable that a package should contain.)
