I tried all four: pgperl and psqlodbc build and install out of the box
with an installed postgresql-dev package (pgperl does not even need a
patch as in the postgresql source tree).

pgeasy also works, but needs some path adaptions in its Makefile
(beside the static library patch that is also present in psql's source
tree).

plr is a bit trickier, I did not manage to build it at the first shot.
It needs a new Makefile, some Makefile portions out of contrib and
also the helper program pg_regress from psql's src/test/regress
directory. However, I don't think that it is overly difficult. If
there is somebody actually using plr, then maybe he wants to maintain
this package?
