You might try WinSql from
http://www.synametrics.com/SynametricsWebApp/WinSQL.jsp  They have a
query wizard that works with Postgresql.  Not sure if the free version
has it or not, but at $250 per copy it's not what I'd call expensive.

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.
