Well, the code for the GEQO implementation in PostgreSQL is open --
you can just take a look at that. I'm not aware of any simpler
versions, unfortunately.

There's some literature on the subject that you should probably read:

http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/bennett91genetic.html
http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/stillger96genetic.html

If you're unfamiliar with database query optimization itself, I found
this to be a good survey of the field:
