Nik,

GDAL does not provide any services to get the SRS list but you can
access the gdal/data/pcs.csv and gdal/data/gcs.csv files yourself
fairly easily to get the names and EPSG identifiers.  What this does
not help with is a logical organization of the SRSes which can be
helpful in a GUI since there are a lot.

Best regards,
