Wes,
Is this the kind of "trigger text" data you were interested in?
select relname as table_name,
tgname as trigger_name,
tgtype as trigger_type,
proname as trigger_function
from pg_class, pg_trigger, pg_proc
where pg_class.oid = tgrelid
and tgfoid = pg_proc.oid
and tgisconstraint = 'f'
order by table_name, trigger_name;
