I need a way to backup either from SQL in PSQL (possibly \!) or from a PG/PLSQL 
function to a file with a name set from a :variable.

Could it be something like this:

# \setenv myFile 'filename'
# \! pg_dump > $myFile

Unfortunately there seems to be no unsetenv command to remove the
variable within the script.

Call it again without the variable value:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/interactive/app-psql.html

\setenv [ name [ value ] ]
Sets the environment variable name to value, or if the value is not supplied, unsets the environment variable

\setenv myFile
