If you have access to the view that renders the template you want, you can pull all the flatpages from the database. Here’s a REALLY crude and far-from-ideal solution:

In the view:

from django.contrib.flatpages.models import Flatpage

...do your other view stuff

flatpages = Flatpage.objects.all() 
# You REALLY SHOULD filter() based on other properties of the Flatpages, 
# such as whether or not it requires login to view, or, importantly, 
# which Site it is available on (because not all Flatpages will 
# necessarily be available on the current Site)

...then pass the flatpages queryset into your view

In your template:

<ul>
{% for flatpage in flatpages %}
     <li><a href="{{flatpage.url}}">{{flatpage.title}}</a></li>      
     {#Note that the page title may not be good link text #} 
{% endfor %}
</ul>
