Also, casting the function's OID to regprocedure may be useful.
Random example:
regression=# select 1142::regprocedure;
      regprocedure

 date_mii(date,integer)
(1 row)
That's even better -- I tried regproc, but forgot about regprocedure. I 
think the problem will be, though, that the output of the reg* datatypes 
is not castable to text, and therefore cannot be used to build a dynamic 
sql statement.

  select 'GRANT EXECUTE ON ' || 1142::regprocedure;
  ERROR:  array value must start with "{" or dimension information
But with the help of plpgsql:
  create or replace function regprocedure2text(regprocedure)
  returns text as '
    begin
      return $1;
    end;
  ' language plpgsql;
  CREATE FUNCTION
  select 'GRANT EXECUTE ON ' || regprocedure2text(1142::regprocedure);
                  ?column?
  -----------------------------------------
   GRANT EXECUTE ON date_mii(date,integer)
