In plpgsql, is it possible to indirectly reference a column in a record object?

For instance, in a trigger function I've got a variable, v_column_name containing (predictably) a column name in existing in OLD and NEW. I want to reference that column. This of course doesn't work:

   IF OLD.v_column_name != NEW.v_column_name THEN
   ..

Is this possible in plpgsql?  Is there a way to deference v_column_name?
