Dylan,
Mapserver with variable substitution will do what you want. Define a
layer with a DATA string like
DATA "the_geom from (%sql%) using unique gid using srid=4326"
Then, on the CGI URL line, add a sql= parameter. You'll have to add a
DATAPATTERN regex to allow this for securitiy reasons.

Thanks everyone for the awesome suggestions! Given that I need this to be
command line driven, Mapnik looks to be the best option. Though the fact
that QGIS builds the .map files is tempting as well. In any event, thanks
again for the suggestions. I'll report back on how successful I am with
Mapnik
Dylan,
+1 on Webb's suggestion, as Mapnik is a great tool for rendering PNG's
from postgis data.
Like Regina said, if you are looking for a Graphical tool, OpenJump,
QGIS, and uDig are great solutions.
But if you are looking for a commandline or scriptable solution and

Hi PostGIS Users,
In your opinion, what do you think is the best way to build PNGs from
PostGIS queries? I see the shp2img tool but it looks like I'll have to write
a load of .map files. I'm hoping there's an easier tool I can use to execute
