Intermittent start...fuel pump??

It's been cold here for a while, and yesterday night, the wife's '99 9-3 wouldn't start. She was parked on a fairly loud city street, near an expressway, so I couldn't hear if things were operating. Bang a bit on the tank, no luck.
This morning, I go there to check it out again. Key on, I hear a slight noise, crank...no start. Pop the hood, signal her to crank...it starts. I don't turn it off, rather just drive it home into my garage. It was quiet, and I can hear the DIC do it's shut-down plug cleaning routine.
I was hearing, what I believe to be the pump, making some god-awful priming/wheezing noises at key on. My thought is the pump is on it's way out.
Is there anything I should check before hand?? She drives into some bad neighborhoods for work, so I was going to replace the pump, and DIC as "preventative" maintenance. $800 is worth her safety to me, especially on a car that's paid for; but I want to be sure this is indeed the problem. Any other suggestions?
