Hello,

In GDAL 1.9, it is not missing. Have you tried epsg_tr.py ?

$ epsg_tr.py 4418
PROJCS["NAD27 / BLM 18N (ftUS)",
     GEOGCS["NAD27",
         DATUM["North_American_Datum_1927",
             SPHEROID["Clarke 1866",6378206.4,294.9786982138982,
                 AUTHORITY["EPSG","7008"]],
             AUTHORITY["EPSG","6267"]],
         PRIMEM["Greenwich",0,
             AUTHORITY["EPSG","8901"]],
         UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433,
             AUTHORITY["EPSG","9122"]],
         AUTHORITY["EPSG","4267"]],
     PROJECTION["Transverse_Mercator"],
     PARAMETER["latitude_of_origin",0],
     PARAMETER["central_meridian",-75],
     PARAMETER["scale_factor",0.9996],
     PARAMETER["false_easting",1640416.67],
     PARAMETER["false_northing",0],
     UNIT["US survey foot",0.3048006096012192,
         AUTHORITY["EPSG","9003"]],
     AXIS["X",EAST],
     AXIS["Y",NORTH],
