This is one of the major goals I'm trying to achieve with the
Nagios::Object perl modules (on CPAN).  I just started writing HTML
stuff for it this weekend and will update this list when some of it is
ready.  So far, I'm creating a bunch of widgets that can be lumped back
together easily to create custom layout webpages.   Hopefully, I'll be
able to construct something very much like the existing C CGI's for
Nagios using the perl modules, so it'll run under mod_perl.

My organization also wants what you're asking for - simple pages for
common users and "bricks" they can stick in other informational
webpages.

The (bare) basics of what you need should be almost ready in
Nagios::StatusLog (part of Nagios::Object).  Unfortunately, I haven't
worked the documentation out as well as I'd like yet.
