Must I absolutely have an SLR-type lens to achieve this or is this possible with point-and-shoot cameras?

It's called a "fast lens", and it has a very large maximum aperture, like f1.2 or 1.4 for a standard lens. Pocket cameras aren't very good for this. Either way, use a tripod to reduce blur!

You need to learn exposure. You likely have a 3.5-5.6 lens. If you zoom in, you are already 5X more likely to get blur. Understanding what causes blur, how to balance ISO, aperture and Shutter speed to get the right exposure will prevent this, with no flash at all. There is a pile of book at your local library that will teach you this in 2 chapters. It's not that time consuming, really. You just have to be willing to put the effort in and begin to understand that the camera is just a tool. Auto mode will only mess up your pics and it's up to you to get them right.

Assuming you're using film (not digital)...You'll get best result if you can:
1) Use the fastest possible film (ISO 400/800/1600/3200)
2) Use the fastest lens possible (F1.4 on a standard lens, F2.8 on a telephoto)
3) Mount the camera on a tripod (if possible)

point and shoot
you need a tripod, fastest film you can find <800, bulb setting if you have one.
It helps if the place is brightly lit
