From psql use \dp <tablename>

Using plain SQL, the closest I can think of are the has_xxx_privilege()
functions:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/functions-info.html

There is also the standard information_schema views:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/information-schema.html
e.g. table_privileges, column_privileges

Finally, there are the system-catalogues themselves:

Look in pg_class for relacl - an array of table (and index) permissions.
Similarly pg_proc has proacl for functions.
