Dennis,
Much of this is probably better asked on the FrontBase list.

We are starting a large new WebObjects project. The client does not
appear to be worried about name-brand databases. Since FrontBase is
now free, and this project might require multiple deployments, we
thought FrontBase might be a good choice. We have used it until 5
years ago and were happy with it at that time.
We still use it and are still happy with it.
A couple of concerns we have is that it may have lost its glory. Do
they still make money from support/consulting to warrant continuing
the development of their product?
Geert sent a message on this to the FB list some months back, sorry I
don't have a link. He said that the company was doing better than
ever on its new (not support based) revenue model and was surprised
that it was also making more than expected on support. FB is going
strong.
Will it run on Leopard?Their website looks very dated with all
testimonials from before 2000. Does it support 64 bit? Can you
manually set the caching in memory to a very high amount?
These are probably best addressed on the FB list. AFAIK, it is not
64 bit yet.
