I use Time machine on zfs + freebsd + netatalk. [Broken ATM
since the Lion uprgade. Need to update to netatalk-2.2.1]

May be some zfs based NAS appliance? 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.
