Yes, there are three alternatives to Microsoft .NET Framework:
Mono C# and CLR which works on Windows and Linux at:
http://www.go-mono.com/
Portable.NET which works on Linux at

Rotor which is Microsoft’s shared source C# and CLR available for Windows and FreeBSD:

I’m currently working on Mono right now. Those guys are moving pretty fast – they already have a C# compiler that can compile itself on its own CLR under Linux and Windows. There are people working on the C# bindings to gtk/gnome and qt/kde. Rodrigo Moya is working on the database access (System.Data etc) in Mono C#. The first provider we are working on is the PostgreSQL provider. After that is working, we will create other providers.
Want to help?

Thanks for the help. However, I'm more interested in a direct approach
from C# to the PostgreSQL client library. Also, this must be able to
work under Windows, Linux, etc...
Are you saying that C# is available for non-Microsoft Operating Systems?
