I think the poster meant you could replace MS SQL with PostgreSQL. 
Though this does depend on if T-SQL was used instead of standard SQL. 
T-SQL is MS's stored procedure language similar to how Oracle has
PL/SQL.  You could port the stored procedures to pg/sql, though that is
something that could take time and depend on how large/complex Xalt is
and an application.

And if you were wondering how to literally dump an MS SQL Server DB. 
You can do it from the SQL Server Enterprise Manager.  You can export to
any ODBC database or to a CSV file if you wanted.
