You should be able to generate all the counts from one scan:

UPDATE T set t1 = b.a1, t2 = b.a2 ...
FROM (
  SELECT
    sum(CASE WHEN D.da=1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS a1,
    sum(CASE WHEN D.da=2 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS a2,
    ...
  FROM D
) AS b
WHERE tkey = <value>

You might also want to look at the crosstab functions in the tablefunc
contrib module (see appendix F of the manuals).
