No. That's like asking if Unix is compatible with Windows, because you 
want to hack on Unix but you're comfortable with windows and want to use it.

If you want to use mysql you should hack on it. If you want to use 
postgres hack on it. But you can't mix those two.

I'm wondering if you are thinking that you can use Postgres as a Mysql 
storage engine? While Mysql does has pluggable storage 
engines...Postgres is not designed to be able to be used in this way 
(that would be an interesting - but big and probably controversial 
project to undertake).

So if you are more familiar with Mysql, why not hack Innodb?
