Not that I know of (except a cut down version of Lynx, still huge...).
When I was hacking on W-system, I analyzed its code for HTML widget - it's
not that complicated as long as you don't display frames and aligned
images. It would require a person with enough motivation to write a
curses-based browser which would support only basic tags... it's simply so
tedious work.

As you probably know, there were two main versions of PicoBSD from the
very beginning - one targeted at personal usage, and the second one which
could be a simple server/router. So, it's nothing new...
