How would you create the front-end for a web-based circular interface that does not involve using graphic files or Flash?

I would probably go with something like this: http://raphaeljs.com/

Nice, looks interesting.

yes but raphaeljs is like processing.js - very neat graphical stuff but overkill for a nav menu!

A: 

If you don't mind it not being IE compatible... You could use CSS3 border-radius to round the corners of a div.

But my general answer to your question is that I wouldn't. I'd ask why the constraints and explain that at least some images are probably required.

Would you be looking for a radial menu / pie menu ?

this is really neat! - looks like it'd scale and work for more complicated things... even multi-layer target-looking piemenu's!
