Call me crazy, but shouldn't the following work?  :~|

CREATE FUNCTION t() RETURNS TEXT AS '
DECLARE
        col_name pg_catalog.pg_attribute.attname%TYPE;
BEGIN
        col_name := ''uga'';
        RETURN col_name;
END;
' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
CREATE FUNCTION


SELECT t();
WARNING:  plpgsql: ERROR during compile of t near line 2
ERROR:  Invalid type name 'pg_catalog.pg_attribute.attname % TYPE'
