Database names and pg_dump

We are planning to migrate from Oracle to PostGreSQL, and we would like to
replicate our database maintenance procedures/scripts as closely as possible;
Our Oracle backup scripts extract the names of all active SIDs from the
/etc/oratab file and perform a backup export for each SID;
Is there an equivalent file or utility that will provide the name of each
database within a PostGreSQL cluster?
I know you can extract an entire cluster via pg_dumpall, but we would like
to stick with the individual db backups--for file-size issues and restore
efficiency.
