I use Time machine on zfs + freebsd + netatalk. [Broken ATM since the Lion uprgade.

ZFS snapshots are very cheap and you can delete old ones (if you want more frequent recent backups and less frequent older backups. But I would test how well deletes work when dedup is used). You can probably use netatalk & venti (on Unix) to provide a time machine interface. But I would test venti scaling first.
