I think the LDAS framework has a Perl client library (not graphically
GUI...). Another option which is not as quite as mad as it sounds is
setting up the Ensembl web site (there are straightforward instructions -
usually takes about 1 day).

Also Apollo I know is developing DAS client behaviour but I am not sure if
it is releases. As I think Apollo's DAS client behaviour was tested
against LDAS, Dazzle and UCSC it "shoudl work fine". Ask the apollo guys
(apollo@fruitfly.org I think - if not ask Michele Clamp -
michele@sanger.ac.uk directly)
