I'll look into those possibilities, thanks.

I like the idea of a role-level permission, or a (db,role)-level
permission (i.e. "role x is auditor for database y"), but I don't
feel I know enough about real-world auditing requirements to make
an informed decision here.
Ian did some research into how auditing is handled in other systems.
He's on vacation right now, and I'm not sure how much detail his report
has on this particular subject, but I'll have a look and try to present
a summary soon.
