pg_restore's "-l, --list print summarized TOC of the archive" option
does display the information in custom format dumps, e.g.:

prompt$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_restore -l < /tmp/mytest.dump
;
; Archive created at Tue Sep 29 13:48:37 2009
; dbname: mytest
; TOC Entries: 9

; Format: CUSTOM
; Integer: 4 bytes

; Dumped from database version: 8.4.0
; Dumped by pg_dump version: 8.4.0
