The hstore gist and gin opclasses contain support for that.

You could transform this into a gist/gin indexable query
kvp @> ('a' => 'x')
although I think the actually indexed part of it is just the search for
rows that contain key 'a', so it's not really any better than
kvp ? 'a' AND (kvp->'a') = 'x'
performance-wise.
