OptionsXpress.com offers it, and so do many others. Under CBOE rules, PM is only available to accounts with a net liquidation value of $100,000 or more, although the broker is free to impose additional requirements. Remember, PM is a pilot program, so the rules are not as well fleshed out as for Reg-T margin. The market wants PM, so nobody wants to screw it up and have the SEC look at PM with a jaundiced eye.
