If you mean for client access then the libpq library should be a
possibility, I've had a look at it and started the port but ran out of time.
(I spent a day on it...) It doesn't, on the face of it, look like a HUGE job
as all the comms calls go through a handful of routines. I intend to port it
over sometime in the next few months as part of a large project I am working
on. Of course, if anyone else has already done it...

The server itself is another story... I doubt that it would be practical or
desirable to run the server on Mac OS unless it is running on Mac OS X in
which case porting it across should be straight forward.
