I don't think what you're looking for is exposed anywhere.  Postgres
doesn't rely on indexes for statistical information anyway; the
pg_statistic system catalog (see also pg_stats view) is used for that.

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
       choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
       match
