Marc Fournier is both a FreeBSD guy and a Postgres guy. I think he may be a developer for both. I have seen him active on lists for both projects. I will take my lame newbie SQL shot at an answer. Postgres supports triggers and transactions. I presume one could use these to keep two seperate databases in synch. I don't know much more about it than these functionalities exist.
