  Or, my prefered method, create the table like so..

create table MyTable
(
    MyField        int4 default nextval('SomeSequence'),

...
);

  That gives you the flexibility to select the nextval of the sequence and
insert it yourself (if you need it for further processing), or to simply
let the database take care of it for itself.
