This is not really a SQL type result; you are probably better of
writing something in a procedural language.  That said, something like
this seems to work for 7.2:

    create sequence temp_counter;
    select nextval('temp_counter'), * from whatever;

If you have an 'order by', the above will not work.  You could then
try either building a temporary table or using a subselect

    select nextval('temp_counter'), * from (select .... order by ...);
