There is code in the source for NetHack to create pronounceable words.
Also, combining words would probably be somewhat easy. A lazy coder could
import a unix dictionary file into a MySQL table and do "select word from
word order by rand limit 2" and just combine the results.

I believe there is an article on phpbuilder.com on "pronouncable passwords",
which is probably what you'll want to actually do. Using real words would
just be way too resource intensive.
I'd give you the direct link to the article, but it seems my internet
connection only works for NNTP and ftp downloads...my HTTP has broken for
the moment, and I have no idea why ;(
