pgstattuple contrib module give such an information. But it requires an
exclusive lock on the table it's looking at, so it's quite intrusive. For more
details, the 8.4 documentation is interesting:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/pgstattuple.html


That doc specifically says that it takes only a read lock.
