Pgaccess currently installs its accessory files into PREFIX/pgaccess,
which isn't really compatible with standard Unix file system layouts. From
my reading of things the proper place for it would be
PREFIX/share/pgaccess. This does not affect users since the file path is
substituted into the pgaccess executable at build time. Protests?

(Pedants might point out that part of pgaccess should go into
PREFIX/libexec, but we can worry about that later.)

I can't say if it's ok or if not. If you think that it's ok and
PostgreSQL developers agree, let's put it there.
I don't know the meaning of .../share/ directory and what the standards
are.
