MySQL and I don't get along.

Open-source blogging with Postgres.

Is there a halfway decent open-source blogging platform which will use PostgreSQL as its backend store?

I don't really care what language it's written in. There should be core functionality or well-supported plugins for basic blogging features like trackbacks, comment spam filtering, etc. I should be able to write plugins or extensions using a documented API of some sort. Other than that my requirements are pretty light. I don't mind a more general CMS if it is easily adapted to the creation of a traditional blog.

Django-mingus will also do the trick.

Drupal now has good Postgres support.

I used to work with the Movable Type team, and they put a ton of work into supporting Postgres at least through the 4.x versions (not sure about the new 5.0 version). Definitely worth a look.

Any Java-based platform that uses JDBC should work with it.
