Unfortunately I don't know of any good GUI front ends, free or not. But
if you're only looking to build queries that you're then embedding into
an application, there are probably some commercial tools you could use
But since I do stuff 'the hard way', I can't really recommend any.
Though, would pgAdmin do what you wanted? It might have a query builder.
