It's potentially as easy as this:
if ($pagename != $_SESSION['currpage']) {
$_SESSION['lastpage'] = $_SESSION['currpage'];
$_SESSION['currpage'] = $pagename;
}
Then use the http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/HttpVariables recipe
to use those session variables on a page (very similar syntax to a
PTV).

What will you do if 2 people are browsing the site at the same time?
Create PTVs based on IP address? Sounds like this gets pretty
complicated pretty quickly... What if someone is browsing from 2
different sessions at the same time? How do you keep their 2 sets of
history from getting mixed up?
I think you'll have a lot better luck with the $_SESSION variable...
