All WordPress.com blogs have category feeds. This is the format for a category feed on WordPress.com blogs:
http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/category/categoryname/feed/
The RSS Widget displays posts from any RSS feed and you can configure it to display a number of entries in a given category.

Yes, you can do that by using the RSS Widget...

...combined with the link to the feed of the category in question. Example (from my blog):
http://airodyssey.wordpress.com/category/tv-commercials/feed/
("tv-commercials" is the name of the category)

I figure that I can use html to create a manual list, but I am looking for a way to make it automatic..
