It's been quite a while ago that I did NetWare programming (3.11 NLM,
communication protocol for a dbms), and that I had some contact with
Netware (4.1), but if Novell didn't change the architecture completely
(I doubt that) the native win32 port won't be of any help for
implementing PostgreSQL on NetWare. It's very different from Windows and
*ix, so it would be a complete third implementation of basic service
interfacing.
