initdb does create a Database system identifier which can seen using 
pg_controldata:

postgres@killi:~> pg_controldata  /usr/local/pgsql/data
pg_control version number:            903
Catalog version number:               201008051
Database system identifier:           5861256043884404217
Database cluster state:               shut down

A quick search showed that folks would like an SQL way of getting this 
and that none is available as far as I can determine. The only solution 
I could find was grepping the pg_controldata output.
