No problem, for instance for month january 2008:

test=*# select count(1) from
  (select '2008-01-01'::date + s*'1day'::interval as datum from
    generate_series(0,30) s)foo
  where extract(dow from datum)=6;
 count
-------
     4
(1 row)


With generate_series() i generate a list of dates, and later i check if
the date are a saturday. Okay, you need to know sunday -> change from 6
to 0 and ou course, you can calculate the parameter for the
generate_series like

test=*# select count(1) from
  (select '2008-01-01'::date + s*'1day'::interval as datum from
    generate_series(0,'2008-01-31'::date - '2008-01-01'::date) s)foo
  where extract(dow from datum)=0;
 count
-------
     4
(1 row)

I think the easiest way is to set up a table populated with all dates and days
between two years that are important to your application and then just do
simple selects on that table.

I find it convenient to create a custom version of generate_series:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION generate_series(date,date)
  RETURNS SETOF date AS $$
    SELECT $1 + n FROM generate_series(0,$2-$1) AS x(n)
  $$ LANGUAGE SQL IMMUTABLE;
