1) Just to be clear I have no knowledge of VMS. Also, to be honest I am 
not interested in learning it.

2) Per Tom Lanes post there has been no discernible interest in a VMS 
port of Postgres. Until such time as there is some critical mass pushing 
for a port I don't your efforts going anywhere. Personally I think if 
the interest was there it would have manifested itself already.

3) My suggestion would be to carry your project on as blog posts 
submitted here:

https://planet.postgresql.org/

Then you could see if the a fore mentioned critical mass can be reached.
