To get a list of a content type's cck fields, I was hoping to use:
drupal_get_schema('content_type_mycontenttype');
but that leaves out fields with multiple values. Is there a simple call to use to get such a list?

Take a look at the content_fields function, and if doesn't that have the information you need, there is _content_type_info.
Additionally, once you have the field information, you can extract the table storage and column names using content_database_info.
For Drupal 7, check out the field_info_instances function to retrieve a list of fields for a particular node content type.
Here is an example usage that will retrieve all the fields for a node content type.
$my_content_type_fields = field_info_instances("node", "my_node_content_type");
I've used something like this before to do a quick list of CCK Field information for a content type:
$mytype = 'article';
$contentinfo = _content_type_info();
$output .= "<ul>";
foreach($contentinfo['fields'] as $field) {
if ($field['type_name'] == $mytype) {
$output .= '<li id="field-' . $field['field_name'] . '">' . $field['widget']['label'] . '<br>';
if ($field['widget']['description']) {
$output .= $field['widget']['description'] . '<br>';
}
$output .= '<ul>
<li>Content Types: ' . $field['type_name'] . '</li>
<li>Type: ' . $field['type'] . '</li>
<li>' . $field['field_name'] . '</li>
</ul>';
}
}
$output .= '</ul>';
