The port of MediaWiki is going well: it is certainly usable, and 
is already being used by a number of sites. I would not say it is 
quite "competitive" yet as far as being ready to run Wikipedia, as 
the codebase has a lot of very mysql-specific stuff that has yet to 
be fixed/coded around. There are also a few lingering bugs, most 
related to the fact that the MediaWiki on Mysql stores dates as 
char(14).

For the record, anyone using wikipgedia deserves the pain they 
get: it is deprecated. The latest version of MediaWiki itself is what 
should now be used: it will detect if you have Postgres upon 
installation. :)
