While dnn - in theory still conforms to the SQL provider model to be honest - the tasks involved in getting dnn running with another sql provided are enormous.  

Writing the provider itself is a relatively easy task - and yes you could use the mssql provider as a starting base - but you would also need to recode pretty much every T-SQL script in each installer so they are compliant with you sql server.  And that would include every stored procedure for the core and any other modules you are running.

And if you ever needed to run an upgrade to a new version - well the same discussion goes double.

Something to think about.
