Hmm, it's not clear entirely what you want.  Afaik "select txid_current()" should get you the current transaction id. The column xmin for a row from any table will get you the inserting transaction id, and xmax will get you the deleting (or attempted delete) transaction id.

See http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/functions-info.html
