I just ssh to the server and run pg_dump. You could automate this if it's
something you do regularly, or have I misunderstood your question?

pg_dump works a charm, as long as you can get to the port.  If you can
only get web access remotely, maybe ftp, then you could set up a
CGI/mod_perl/mod_php script that basically sends a text/plain header then
passes thru the output from pg_dump.

In PHP: (Note this script needs to have NO spaces or blank lines before
the opening <?php tag...

<?php
header("content-type: text/plain");
passthru("/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_dump dbname");
?>
