Oh, some time ago I was looking for such a function and somehow I missed
that. Maybe there should be a hint about it around string/numeric
functions?

Well, you can make a function out of it, say:
CREATE FUNCTION from_hex(t text) RETURNS integer AS $$
DECLARE
r RECORD;
BEGIN
FOR r IN EXECUTE 'SELECT x'''||t||'''::integer AS hex' LOOP
RETURN r.hex;
END LOOP;
END
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql IMMUTABLE STRICT;
