Thank you Andrea and Pedro. Much appreciated. I'm going to attempt this
and will let you know my progress. Wish me luck!

Yes, as pedro said you can write your own script (PHP, Perl, Python,
Java,
whatever) and use the Postgis AsKML() command. Network Links can embed
db-resources from such a script from a parent KML file.

Another option would be to use Geoserver or gdal/ogr or FME
(commercial).

Many GIS also provide KML output, as an example, since you already use
QGIS, there is a KML export plugin from QGIS.

Hope this helps as a starter.
