You can get the needed info using ps (or top)
The following is in linux (on other systens the flags to ps may differ):
[hannu@kodu hannu]$ ps ax | grep postgres
604 p1 S 0:00 grep postgres
600 ? S 0:00 /usr/bin/postgres localhost hannu unidocu idle
the 8th field is db name, so you can probably write a short script
(sh, awk, python, perl, ...) to do the counting.
the fields >8 is current command, so yo can check what your backends are
doing.
