GnuCash stores it's data in XML.  There is a Postgres Backend but it's
not feature-complete in 1.8 and therefore most binary packagers do not
pre-build it for you.  GnuCash can also import QIF and OFX format
files.

Your best bet is to write a script to convert to either QIF or OFX
and then use the GnuCash importer.
