Not AFAIK. In the past I've done ls -l and then divided by the average row
size. But that required some guesswork and depended on the fact that I was
building the table from scratch. 

I think there's a tool to dump the raw table data which might be handy if you
know the table didn't have a lot of dead tuples in it.

It would be *really* handy to have a working dirty read isolation level that
allowed other sessions to read uncommitted data.
