Let's look what particular opclass is consisting of. Besides records in
pg_opfamily, it also contains records in pg_opclass, pg_amproc and pg_amop.
=# select * from pg_opclass where opcfamily = 2745;
opcmethod | opcname | opcnamespace | opcowner | opcfamily | opcintype |
opcdefault | opckeytype

2742 | array_ops | 11 | 10 | 2745 | 2277 |
t | 2283

=# select * from pg_amproc where amprocfamily = 2745;
amprocfamily | amproclefttype | amprocrighttype | amprocnum |

These records of system catalog are defined in special headers the source
code:
src/include/catalog/pg_amop.h
src/include/catalog/pg_amproc.h
src/include/catalog/pg_opclass.h
src/include/catalog/pg_opfamily.h
These records are written to system catalog during bootstrap process (see
src/backend/catalog/README).
As you can see pg_amproc records refer some procedures. Those procedures
are actually the majority of source code behind of opclass. Those
procedures are defined in src/backend/access/gin/ginarrayproc.c.
