Haven't tried this, but in theory something like this should/could work.
def my_syncdb_view(request):
# check if user has permission to run this here
# prepare to capture output of syncdb()
import sys
orig_stdout = sys.stdout
orig_stderr = sys.stderr
from cStringIO import StringIO
sys.stdout = StringIO()
sys.stderr = StringIO()
from django.core.management import syncdb
syncdb()
# rewind stringio instances
sys.stdout.seek(0)
sys.stderr.seek(0)
output = []
output.append("<h3>Output:</h3>")
output.append('<pre>')
output.append(sys.stdout.read())
output.append('</pre>')
output.append("<h3>Errors:</h3>")
output.append('<pre>')
output.append(sys.stderr.read())
output.append('</pre>')
# set stdout and stderr back just in case
sys.stdout = orig_stdout
sys.stderr = orig_stderr
return HttpResponse('\n'.join(output))
