While not a circuit you can build, I use the PICKit 3 to program PIC's from the same family. Find it works very well and is relatively cheap.

Agreed. You can spend a lot of time building the perfect programmer, or just buy a PICkit 3! There's currently a 20% off promotion:

.
They're very cheap for what they are, and it's a tool you'll be able to use for years.

You can build your own programmer using an 18F2550 (or an 18F4550) but the catch is you need to program it first
http://usbpicprog.org/
These are good if you just want to program chips (no debugging etc)

If you have a parallel port on your PC:

Similar ones exist for the serial port too.
