The function could return a set of cursors, one for the query that
returns the total number of records and one for the resultset.  The
8.0 documentation has an example that should work in earlier versions
as well (except for the dollar quoting):

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/plpgsql-cursors.html

See the example at the bottom of the page.
