The sizes displayed by \dt+ in version 8.4.2 do not take TOAST tables into account, presumably because the pg_relation_size does not reflect that, either. I think this is a bit surprising. From a user perspective, these are part of the table storage (I understand that the indices might be a different story, but TOAST table are a fairly deep implementation detail and should perhaps be hidden here).
As of last week there's a new pg_table_size available that does what you want here: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2010-01/msg00288.php
I don't believe \dt+ has been updated yet to use that though; that's worth considering for a minute, not sure anybody thought about it yet.
