This is literally what the source file for the entries in {boQwI'} look like:
<table name="mem">
<!-- Checked on: 2012.11.21. -->
<column name="_id">12920</column>
<column name="entry_name">chu'wI'</column>
<column name="part_of_speech">n:2,deriv,being</column>
<column name="definition">player (of an instrument)</column>
<column name="definition_de">Spieler (eines Musikinstruments)</column>
<column name="synonyms"></column>
<column name="antonyms"></column>
<column name="see_also">{chu'wI':n:1}</column>
<column name="notes"></column>
<column name="hidden_notes"></column>
<column name="components">{chu':v:3}, {-wI':v}</column>
<column name="examples"></column>
<column name="search_tags"></column>
<column name="source">[1] {KGT:src}</column>
</table>
In particular, parts_of_speech is tagged with the categories listed here:
https://code.google.com/p/klingon-assistant/source/browse/KlingonAssistant/data/mem-00-header.xml?r=4841662aed1336886b09142bbc66d7079d8c3273#27

It's trivial in a technical sense, but time-consuming to actually do.
OTOH, the source code for {boQwI'} is publicly available. Feel free to
port it to make a web UI.
Also, the functionality you seem to want is already available from
qurgh's Hol 'ampaS: http://hol.kag.org/ .

What sorts of relationships, other than synonyms, antonyms, related
entries, and derivations and components, do you have in mind?

You're welcome to use the data from {boQwI'} however you like. The
entries were collated mostly by myself, from various sources, with
occasional assistance from a few other people. The German definitions
come from Lieven.
