We've written our own image browser to do exactly this, but the way images are stored in our CMS database is so specific to our CMS that it wouldn't be of use to anyone else.
It's pretty easy to do though. Just have a look at the existing file browser dialog. You can present the images in any way you like, just call the function to pass the URL, dimensions, alt tag etc back.
You can specify the URL to your custom browser in fckconfig.js. Use whatever server side technology you like.
If you're keen to have a go, I can give you a copy of ours .. you'd have to rip out and replace all the actual DB calls though.
I don't believe this kind of functionality should be part of the core FCK product though - every CMS is going to want to do this differently.
