I'd use a third table:
 CREATE TABLE t1 (   id SERIAL );
 CREATE TABLE t1_refs_t0 (   t0id integer NOT NULL REFERENCES t0(id),   t1id integer NOT NULL REFERENCES t1(id)
-- Probably you'd like to add some unique constraint (if the orig. array
-- shouldn't contain equal values):   , UNIQUE (t1id, t0id) );

And maybe a trigger (after insert/update on t1) to check that actually there
are rows in the refs table for the new t1.id, but I can't really find out
the correct syntax now :)
