Please forgive my ignorance, but is it possible to use DBList with queries to other
databases? I'd very much like to use this element populated with the results from a
query to another database running on the same server as XWiki, but the only documentation
I can find describes queries of the XWiki database.

No, you cannot do that with DBList. It’s expecting a HQL query actually (and we’ve been
needing to add support for XWQL too for a very long time).
Another direction could be to look at adding a new type for that,
see http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/CreatingNewXClassProperty… (I
don’t know if it would work though, it may be too tied to the XWiki data model).
Too bad that Computed Field only supports one value...
Thanks

You don't really need a complete new type, you can provide a custom
