Place footprint, then:
 - hover mouse cursor over the component (not over pin), press d: all 
pin numebrs will appear 
 - hover over a pin, press d: pin number of the given pin appears
 - hover over a pin or component and press shift+d: pin number dialog 
opens

The above work with the gtk hid, I don't know if bindings are the same 
for the lesstif hid. Recent versions of PCB with gtk hid also displays 
pin numbers in the preview window while selecting footprints.

hope this helps,
