 Yes. There is Relational OLAP (ROLAP) and Multidimensional OLAP (MOLAP).
 PostgreSQL can be used as a ROLAP server.

For multidimentional on PostgreSQL there is Mondrian:

 GForge seems to be technically OK. But what about the future outlook. The home 
 page lists 5 projects, whereof the 4 are tests. Are you sure they will not 
 fold in a month or two, will they be reliable, responsive and real nice (the

http://gforge.org/ is not a hosting site, that is why you only found 4
test projects and the GForge project itself hosted on the site. The idea
is that you download the software and host it on your own hardware.
