Hi Michael -- there's nothing on the roadmap for this.

A good starting point would be to think about you you'd like this to appear on the Cocoa side. You can't seek an NSInputStream, so an NSData subclass would seem to be the way to go? Think about how you'd integrate that with the libpg functions for using large objects. When that's working, we could look at integrating it into BaseTen.
