Yes, this could be done.

However, depending on whom you ask, people will love or hate
such questions.

The pattern mechanism allows you to define a "Database Server"
pattern which requires a "database_engine".

MySQL and Postgres could both provide "database_engine" and
serve to fulfill this requirement.

By default, one of these will be preselected but the user
can de-select one for the other.
