Yes, one row tables :-)

What I usually do for those random values is a table like "GlobalParameters" 
or similar (with three text rows: key, value, type) so I can avoid having 20 
separate one row, one column tables for various settings.  Defining a 
trigger to coerce the value to the desired type is trivial, so your 
application can depend on not having completely bogus values in these 
settings.

A more esoteric possibility would be to define functions that return a 
constant value.

Not exactly sure what you mean here.  If you use pg_dump, usually the whole 
db is dumped (table definition, data, sequences, functions, ...)
