Not heard of anyone doing this - be interested in hearing how you make out.

MS-SQL <=> MS-SQL replication is probably going to be tricky to hack for
this situation, but you might be able to do something with Access
replicating from the MS-SQL server. Link to the Postgres server via ODBC.
Can't say I've tried it, but that would be my first attempt.
