Have you looked at Tungsten to replicate from MySQL to PostgreSQL? Linas Virbalas and I did a talk on using Tungsten to replicate out of MySQL and into PostgreSQL at PG-West. (URL: https://www.postgresqlconference.org/content/liberating-your-data-mysql-cross-database-replication-rescue) Linas posted the slides but I don't see them on the PG-West site yet. If you send a mail off-list we would be happy to send slides. Linas will be doing a similar talk at PG-Day EU in Stuttgart next month.

The software we discussed is open source and available from SourceForge.net at http://sourceforge.net/projects/tungsten/. We are doing some commercial work to replicate into Greenplum and will keep building out the generic MySQL to PostgreSQL replication along the way.

Disclosure: Linas and I both work on Tungsten for Continuent.
