Titan mauler barbarian archetype maybe?
Yeah, Titan Mauler is the only thing I've heard of that does that. And the creator has altered the mechanics of the archetype so it actually functions. It has a lot of reminescence to the Ranger Favored Enemy now. (New size catagory or -2 penalty removal at each benchmark)
You are probably thinking of Monkey Grip from D&D 3.5. That feat let your character use a larger size weapon in one hand. For swords, that was mechanically the same as using a two-handed weapon in one hand.
Quick vaguely related question:
Does the combination of Jotungrip and Massive Weapons mean, a medium Titan mauler can use a large two-handed weapon in two hands? (that he can't use it in one hand is obvious from the faq here makes that clear)
And in extension can he wield a huge one-handed weapon in two hands?
Does the combination of Jotungrip and Massive Weapons mean, a medium Titan mauler can use a large two-handed weapon in two hands?
RAW, No. Jotungrip only works with an appropriately sized weapon.
Using the authors RAI Massive Weapons houserule you could use a large two-handed weapon in two hands at -2.
You cannot use a large two-handed weapon in one hand at all.

And as per that house rule at lvl 6 if i have exotic bastard sword proficiency i culd wield a huge bastard sword in two hands at -4? Or even a greatsword?
I have a lot of trouble making sense out of the way that post is written.
I vaguely heard something about the ability (feat) to wield a two-handed weapon in one hand. Is there such a thing?
Or perhaps it is a PFS boon?
Since you mentioned PFS, I'll point out that the revised, RAI Massive Weapons description for the Titan Mauler is not official.

At level 6, assuming you're using the first option he presented, and chose to increase size rather than reduce penalty, then as a medium titan mauler you could wield a huge weapon in two hands at -4 penalty. This is exactly as if you were wielding a broadsword, so EWP isn't really getting you very much in terms of weapon size.

Assuming you're medium, at level 3 you can wield any large weapon in two hands at -2 penalty.
At 6, you can either wield any huge weapon in two hands at -4, or you can instead wield any large weapon with no penalty. (option chosen when you level up)
How about a medium-sized two-handed weapon in one hand?
Where is the Titan Mauler archetype found?
Thanks!
Ultimate Combat. A Titan Mauler can wield an appropriately sized two-handed weapon (so Medium, for a Medium character) in one hand using Jotungrip at a -2 penalty.
