I'm looking for a tool that will enable me to dump the data frequency histograms
for a postgresql table.

#!/bin/bash
DB="$1"
TABLE="$2"
psql -d $DB -x -c "SELECT tablename,attname,null_frac,avg_width,n_distinct,correlation,most_common_vals,most_common_freqs,histogram_bounds FROM pg_stats where tablename='$TABLE'"

Run that, pass it database then table name, and you'll get the data for each column in that table. That should get you started; refer to http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/interactive/catalog-pg-statistic.html and to http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/interactive/planner-stats-details.html for more details.
