Not that I personally know of. While it would be nice to have an embeddable
database which was syntax-compatible with PostgreSQL, it would be so
radically different codewise as to be a completely different project.
Probably the only thing you'd re-use would be the query parser code. At a
guess, you'd probably be better off trying to weld out query parser to
BerkeleyDB or something than to try to "downsize" the PG code.

If you do, though, please let us know, and feel free to host it at pgFoundry.
