I know that Sigbjorn has a binding for the W3C libraries, but I think that only works 
for GHC.

That (Lambada) is being worked on.

There are several options already:

* you could use Haskell to do old-fashioned CGI scripting (probably too slow)
* you could use HaskellScript embedded in ASP (works with IIS, I have not tried 
ChiliSoft, which claims to have a full implementation of ASP and COM for Unix that 
runs under Apache)
* when Lambada is debugged you can use Java servlets calling Haskell (easy)

in the somewhat longer run (the following are assignments for my forthcomming Internet 
Programming Class):

* use Java Server Pages calling Haskell
* use mod-Haskell under Apache
