John DeSoi mentioned :
=> I'm not sure you can use \d directly, but if you startup psql with the 
=> -E option it will show you all the SQL it is using to run the \d 
=> command. It should be fairly easy to get the strings you need from the 
=> results of running a similar query. The psql source is a good place to 
=> look also.

Sometimes you just need to see things from a different perspective.
Thanks!

Here's my final solution that runs in less than a minute for +- 543 tables :
for x in $(psql -tc "select relname from pg_class where relkind = 'r' and relname not like 'pg_%'")
do 
   echo "$(psql -tc "select  encode(digest('$(psql -c  '\d '${x}'' mer9188_test | tr -d \"\'\")', 'md5'), 'hex')" mer9188_test | grep -v "^$"|tr -d " "):${x}"
done > compare_list.lst
