Mac compatible DB's

Yep, I have PostgreSQL installed here under Windoze, OS X, and Linux.  
No probs.

Check the FAQ for PostgreSQL, section 1.3:

Almost any UNIX platform (OS X is one of these, like it or not -- I 
like it), NT-based Windows OSes (9x via Cygwin only), plus ports for 
Netware and OS/2...

It gets around.  See http://www.postgresql.org/about/casestudies/ for 
some info about just a few companies using PostgreSQL for production 
work.



Another interesting open source database is Firebird, but its 
compatibility is a bit more limited (Windows and Linux only): 
http://firebird.sourceforge.net

You can also get Ingres for Windows, Linux, and Solaris: 
http://opensource.ca.com/projects/ingres

I wonder how hard it would be to get one of these DBs ported to OS X, 
since they are both open source, both run under Linux (and Ingres under 
Solaris as well)...

Doesn't really matter at this point, as we have PostgreSQL, and Rev 
doesn't have a RevDB driver for either Firebird or Ingres.  Hmm.
