create a symlink from /opt/local/lib/libreadline.5.1.dylib to /opt/local/lib/libreadline.5.0.dylib (or just copy the file) and hope nothing major changed in the API. If you get unresolved symbols after that you have to either get a prebuilt prostgresql using the newer library, or you can grab the sources and recompile postgres yourself. Not sure if MacOS has something like ldconfig, if it does you may want to run that after you linked/copied the file.
