I'm not aware of any free software that has what I'd consider sufficient
support/functionality in the vector database and modelling area. GRASS
does support vector data, it's just pretty limited in what you can do
with it. GRASS 5.1 (in development) has a new data model and has seen a
great deal of work in this area, but will probably be quite some time
before the whole thing stabilizes (GRASS 5.0 "stable" is just being
released ...).
