Is it possible to access a Postgres database from MySQL, so that I could run a single query that does joins across tables in both databases?
For example:
SELECT * FROM postgres.db1.table1 as t1, mysql.db2,table2 WHERE t1.id=t2.id;

According to the MySQL CREATE SERVER documentation:
The wrapper_name should be mysql, and may be quoted with single quotation marks. Other values for wrapper_name are not currently supported.
So the answer is no, you cannot do that at the moment, but you can access the MySQL server from within PostgreSQL instead.
