If memory serves, the reason why we recommend Apache is that at the time I last tested, it was the only one of Apache, Lighttpd and Nginx which would support single-process, multi-thread WSGI apps.
Having a single process is essential, due to the global connection manager used by pgAdmin - it's the only way we can guarantee affinity between the user session and the database session. If you can make that work with servers other than Apache (someone recently suggested Gunicorn might be able to help), then I'd love to hear about it. There are no other special requirements of pgAdmin, so really that's all that stands in your way.
Uwsgi might also be worth investigating. It's pretty light and supports an hybrid model where ISTM it would work if you just set number of processes to 1 (but I haven't tried it with pgadmin specifically.
