This is now possible with the 'publish to web' plugin. Just load layers into 
qgis, symbolize them, open the 'publish to web' plugin to export the current 
project to the web.

On the QGIS mapserver page 
(http://karlinapp.ethz.ch/qgis_wms/download/index.html) there are sources and 
binary packages available, both for 'QGIS mapserver' and the 'publish to web' 
Plugin.

So if you have apache and FastCGI configured, it is straightforward to publish 
your QGIS maps on the web (and if not, it is also straightforward to install 
the packages apache2, libapache2-mod-fcgid and libfcgi0c2 on Linux).
