If you mean something that allows you to talk to PostGIS directly from a
web browser... I can't imagine how that would work. You're going to need
some kind of layer inbetween that speaks a non-binary language. 

FeatureServer is a Python CGI that is designed to speak a variety of
languages on the input side and output side, and is designed to be as
little work as possible to install. However, it requires some level of
configuration, and it is likely, or even possible, that you would be
better off with GeoServer.
