You don't find shp2pgsql sufficient? The postgis data sources from JUMP
and GeoTools could be repurposed into custom APIs if one so desired.

To what end would one store GML? Far more efficient to decompose the
GML into spatial/relational structures for database storage. Same thing
can be said about structured XML, though unstructured documents are a
different story. There are some early XML tools in contrib and other
places in PostgreSQL but nothing comprehensive (generally comprehensive
open source implementations follow standards, and there aren't really
any in the XML/Database world quite yet (some drafts though)).
