Wordpress is done for the MySQL initially. There's an extension for using PostgreSQL with it, and it even works (we're using it for small blog).

Unfortunately, many plugins are designed to query database directly, not via the Wordpress layer. If this is the case, then you have either to modify such plugin, or look for something else.

There're some movements towards support of more databases, but it is work in progress.
