It looks like Amazon offers something like this. They call it the Amazon Honor System (http://s1.amazon.com/exec/varzea/subst/fx/help/how-we-know.html/103-3074030-8839823) and allows one to give money to a site. I like the finer grain gifts you suggest that may be specific to an article or some other entity instead of being for a whole site. Also, it looks like Amazon currently only handles payments of a $1.00 or more.
The entry was timely: today was the first time I heard of Amazon's Honor System - over at Reason.com.
