Here's a rather brute-force approach:
select relname,
(select attname from pg_attribute where
attrelid = c.oid and attnum = indkey[0]),
(select attname from pg_attribute where
attrelid = c.oid and attnum = indkey[1]),
(select attname from pg_attribute where
attrelid = c.oid and attnum = indkey[2]),
(select attname from pg_attribute where
attrelid = c.oid and attnum = indkey[3])
from pg_class c, pg_index i
where c.oid = indrelid and indisprimary;
You can carry this out to however many key columns you want to
deal with. The sub-selects will yield NULLs for the columns after
the last key column of a particular index, which is just what you
want here.
