However if I decide to use PostGIS is there an easy way to similarly transfer the work that was done to another person?

Convert the Postgis db to Spatialite. There are several tools out there
for this, ogr2ogr would work, as would a couple of QGIS Plugins (offline
editor can clone your postgis to local), the spatialite author even made
some tool I can't recall the name right now.

Eventually this will be the role of the new GeoPackage format that will
bundle vector and raster into a sqlite db.

Thanks,
Alex
