Strange, the syntax you used (psql -d <dbname> -e) should work...
serv0:~$ echo '\d ntree' | psql -d iig -e Table "ntree"Attribute | Type | Modifier
-----------+---------+----------pid | integer |cid | integer |
Indices: idx_ntree_cid, idx_ntree_pid
I'm using psql 7.0.3 and I'm pretty sure it also works for 6.5.x.
