Haven't had a chance to work with it yet, but I believe
Verity's K2 allows the construction of a faceted browse.
However they, like others in the search engine space, call
it parametric browse. I've also heard it called parametric
selection. I believe this is the same thing --
faceted/parametric, but let me know if there's a subtle
difference I'm not picking up on.
