Yes, there are three alternatives to Microsoft .NET Framework:
Mono C# and CLR which works on Windows and Linux at:
http://www.go-mono.com/
Portable.NET which works on Linux at
http://www.southern-storm.com.au/portable_net.html
Rotor which is Microsoft's shared source C# and CLR available for
Windows and FreeBSD:

p?frame=true
I'm currently working on Mono right now. Those guys are moving pretty
fast - they already have a C# compiler that can compile itself on its
own CLR under Linux and Windows. There are people working on the C#
bindings to gtk/gnome and qt/kde. Rodrigo Moya is working on the
database access (System.Data etc) in Mono C#. The first provider we are
working on is the PostgreSQL provider. After that is working, we will
create other providers.
Want to help?

Thanks for the help. However, I'm more interested in a direct approach
from C# to the PostgreSQL client library. Also, this must be able to
work under Windows, Linux, etc...
Are you saying that C# is available for non-Microsoft Operating Systems?
