I'd do it as follows:

- Perform a pg_dump of the database object definitions:
pg_dump -F c -s -f database.dmp database

- Create a listing, delete everything except triggers and functions:
pg_restore -l database.dmp | awk '/[0-9]*; [0-9]* [0-9]* (FUNCTION|TRIGGER)/ { print }' > database.list

- Create an SQL script with only these objects:
pg_restore -L database.list -f database.sql database.dmp

The only shortcoming is that it does not make a distinction
between PL/pgSQL and other functions; you could filter again with awk
or something if you need that.

Yours,
