It will work even faster if you retile everything to smaller tiles and create 
an index on your raster column (which I have no doubt you did). You can use the 
new ST_Tile() plpgsql prototype to retile everything without reloading:

http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/browser/trunk/raster/scripts/plpgsql/st_tile.sql

It's a bit slow but can work overnight...

If you have an application that want to do that often I would recommend to 
store all the tiles for all the layers in the same table with a column 
identifying the semantic of each set of tile. You then just do a query like you 
did, adding the point id and the semantic column. For each point you will get 
as many rows as you have layers. Transforming everything in a one multiple 
column row is another story: You have to JOIN the table with itself as many 
time as you have layers.
