It seems there are certain projects running at the moment that will eventually make possible
to run PostgreSQL on FreeBSD's jail (virtual server on plain iron speed).
Pre jail resource limits:

Further generalization improvements:

"Further, the project includes generalization of the virtual network stack framework, factoring out common code.
This will provide an infrastructure and will ease virtualization of further subsystems like SYSV/Posix IPC with minimal overhead.
All further virtualized subsystems will immediately benefit from shared debugging facilities, an essential feature for early adopters
of the new technology."
By solving the SYSV/IPC problems, PostgreSQL will be able to be run on jails, even easier and more robustly
than it is the case now.
Lets hope those guys will deliver smth good.
