IMHO most serial port programmers should work with PIC
microcontrollers. I'm using gputils and a simple home-made
programmer that can program a pic16f84a without removing it from
the application circuit. Here is the schematic and the software:

feel free to contact me if you have questions about the circuit or
if you have experiences to share.
