Unfortunately, the answer is no to both. The only officially supported databases are SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL and Oracle. There is support for a couple of other databases available as external libraries [1]. I'm not aware of any efforts to build a backend for SQLFire -- they might exist, but I haven't gone looking for them, and I haven't seen any announcements on Django-dev or Django-users. There certainly aren't any efforts underway to add an official SQLFire driver as part of the core. Django's has a database interface specifically so that third parties can build drivers externally to the core. The core team would rather see this external ecosystem develop, rather than try and force all database development into the core.
