You might want to check out PHPLens (http://phplens.com/), which uses 
ADODB to support multiple DBMS's. This is a commercial PHP toolkit, though.

I don't know of a free PostgreSQL-specific kit for this, but there are a 
couple excellent PEAR (http://pear.php.net) classes for form generation 
(HTML_QuickForm) and table generation (HTML_Table). With these, it's 
really not too hard to automate a lot of the work of standard CRUD 
database interaction.
