You could use pg_get_indexdef, which is what pg_dump uses:
regression=# select pg_get_indexdef((select oid from pg_class where relname = 'fooi'));
pg_get_indexdef
--------------------------------------------------
CREATE INDEX fooi ON foo USING btree (lower(f1))
(1 row)
There's been some talk of improving psql's \d facility to make use of
this itself, but it's probably too late to do it for 7.2 ...
