I am having the same problem, but I have 'make clean' and run the whole
installation gambit on the latest pgsql package, every single time I got
the same answer Undef'd oidvector.
Is there anything that may be missing from the package?

Almost certainly, this indicates that the 7.0 initdb is invoking a 6.5
