   If you use
   $category = get_category($categoryid)
   you will get details about the category and use $category['category_count'] to get the number of posts under that.

   A function exists to do just that...

   wp_list_categories(); IIRC... :)

   If using the Category Widget just check the Show post counts checkbox.

   You can also add the template tag, wp_list_categories(), to a theme's sidebar.php, and use the show_count=1 argument.
