The following SQL:

select attname
from pg_class,pg_index,pg_attribute
where relname='table1' and relkind='r' and relhaspkey
and indrelid=pg_class.oid and indisprimary
and attrelid=pg_class.oid and attnum = ANY (indkey)

gives error: "ERROR: op ANY/ALL (array) requires array on right side"

Further tests show that this appears to work:

select attname
from pg_class,pg_index,pg_attribute
where relname='table1' and relkind='r' and relhaspkey
and indrelid=pg_class.oid and indisprimary
and attrelid=pg_class.oid and attnum IN
(indkey[0],indkey[1],indkey[2].....indkey[63])

But is there any shortcut?
