You don't need Python to install libpqxx. You don't even need Python to compile libpqxx. A normal "./configure && make && make install" from an unpacked source tarball should work fine, with or without Python. There's also a pre-made NetBSD package, but that's very old (see the PackageMaintainers page on the pqxx wiki). What you are doing, apparently, is regenerating the entire build environment from scratch. That normally only makes sense if you're downloading the source from the revision control repository, and yes, that requires Python. If you don't have Python and don't want it (shame--it's a great language and fun to learn) you can usually get away with copying the configure script, Makefiles etc. over from a source tarball released around the same time as the development tree you're trying to rebuild. But most probably you can just download the 2.6.9 tarball from pqxx.org and run "./configure && make" to build.
