Yes -- it would be rather useless if you could never create a list wouldn't it?
In the current version it is command line based. Depending on your choice of local MTA, it may or may not requite root access. In the next version of Mailman there is a web interface to list creation, which again, is somewhat subject to your MTA choice and configuration.

No, you cannot create lists through the web. Last I heard, this was on the to-do list for Mailman 2.1.

No, you cannot create lists through the web.
Unless, of course, you do it yourself with a secured PHP or Perl script. Just execute the exec or system command and feed it Mailman's newlist command with parameters from a form. Here's a PHP example:
$newlist = exec("/usr/local/bin/sudo /home/mailman/bin/newlist --quiet $forumname $adminemail $adminpass",$alloutput,$returnvalue);
(I use the free sudo program to allow the web user "nobody" to run the newlist command)
