Eric,

Perhaps the new Google App Engine could be adapted to do that:

Google's new application server (App Engine) can run Python programs
in a server, which can receive input from and send output to a browser:

    http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/whatisgoogleappengine.html
    What Is Google App Engine? - Google App Engine - Google Code

The language that Google currently supports is Python.  Furthermore,
they also have a stand-alone SDK, which can run locally on any computer
(Linux, Mac, or Windows) and serve a browser on the same machine through
port 8080.

The App Engine was just announced recently, and I haven't yet tried it.
But it seems general enough to support the NLTK Python code (with,
of course, appropriate modifications to read input and write output
via the Google SDK).
