See http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/functions-info.html#FUNCTIONS-INFO-ACCESS-TABLE.

You can of course troll through the system tables... You might find
psql -E useful if as it will show you the queries psql runs for the
backslash commands'\d').

For example:

$ psql -E
=>\dpn
 Schema | Name | Type  |            Access privileges             |
Column access privileges
--------+------+-------+------------------------------------------+--------------------------
 public | a    | table |               | logged_session=arwdDxt/guy  |
                       : read_only=r/guy

gives me the sql:
 SELECT n.nspname as "Schema",
  c.relname as "Name",
  CASE c.relkind WHEN 'r' THEN 'table' WHEN 'v' THEN 'view' WHEN 'S'
THEN 'sequence' END as "Type",
  pg_catalog.array_to_string(c.relacl, E'\n') AS "Access privileges",
  pg_catalog.array_to_string(ARRAY(
    SELECT attname || E':\n  ' || pg_catalog.array_to_string(attacl, E'\n  ')
    FROM pg_catalog.pg_attribute a
    WHERE attrelid = c.oid AND NOT attisdropped AND attacl IS NOT NULL
  ), E'\n') AS "Column access privileges"
FROM pg_catalog.pg_class c
     LEFT JOIN pg_catalog.pg_namespace n ON n.oid = c.relnamespace
WHERE c.relkind IN ('r', 'v', 'S') ORDER BY 1, 2;
