First sentence in this "how to install from source" document is "PostgreSQL works on AIX, but getting it installed properly can be challenging.".

Sounds like an interesting exercise.

Also, I expect that it is IFS-based and not DB2/400-table based (but I do not know how much that helps performancewise for MySQL).

Why would you choose PostgreSQL instead of DB2/400 which works out of the box?

Looks like it is time for the open source community to shift over to PostgreSQL.

How well does PostgreSQL run on the IBM i?
