Perhaps.

You can EXPLAIN ANALYZE a SELECT, just like i/u/d -- but then you
don't get the normal result set back. Is that what you mean?

You can turn on log_min_duration_statement and get total SELECT duration
logged.

There's a thread in pgsql-hackers ("Re: Porting MSSQL to PGSQL: trace and
profile") about server-side logging of query plans and stats (for all four of
s/i/u/d), which is indeed not there in PG.
