Ok, I wasn't sure where the "post-auth section" even was...I had been 
looking in the radiusd.conf...thanks for the hint.  I just added the 
following to the raddb/sites-available/default:

accounting {
         #  Return an address to the IP Pool when we see a stop record.
#       main_pool
         users_pool

post-auth {
         #  Get an address from the IP Pool.
#       main_pool
         users_pool


Now I get this running debug mode:

   }
/usr/etc/raddb/radiusd.conf[1824]: Failed to link to module 'rlm_ippool': 
rlm_ippool.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/usr/etc/raddb/sites-enabled/default[337]: Failed to find module 
"users_pool".
/usr/etc/raddb/sites-enabled/default[314]: Errors parsing accounting 
section.
  }
}
Errors initializing modules

...and indeed, that file exists nowhere on the server.  Was it a part of 
freeradius-server-2.0.4 ?
