You didn't say which version of PostgreSQL you are using.

In PG 7.2 you can return a cursor.
In 7.3 you can return a cursor or a true record set.

See http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/plpgsql-cursors.html
(true to 7.2 and 7.3)

Also
http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/plpgsql-control-structures.html
("Returning from a function"). The part on returning record sets is only
relevant to 7.3
