I've been looking at in circuit programs for a new project I'l like to
start. I reckon I'd need a in circuit programmer as I'm new to the
16h628 and would probably compile my code a few hundred times before it
works

Good conclusion. ex-circuit programming sucks.

I've been looking at wisp628 (http://www.voti.nl/wisp628/index.html)
and it looks like the ideal thing. One question I have though is it
looks like you need a programmed 16f628 for the actual programmer.

correct

Do I
now have to build a programmer to program the 16f628 so that I can use
it in the in-circuit programmer?

Either build a simple programmer yourself (the web is full of them),
have someone program it for your, or buy one pre-programmed from me.
