Are you looking for pg_backend_pid()? It's documented in the
"Statistics Collector" section of the "Monitoring Database Activity"
chapter; it's been around since 7.3:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.3/interactive/release-7-3.html
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.3/interactive/monitoring-stats.html
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/interactive/monitoring-stats.html
