I posted some pseudo-code the other day of how you'd accomplish this,
but don't know if it came through.  Repost...

<!--- get "linked" letters from DB --->
<query name="letters">
  SELECT DISTINCT(Left(your_column_name,1)) AS alpha
  FROM your_table_name
  WHERE your_clause
</query>

<!--- get letters that need links in to a list --->
<set linked = valuelist(letters.alpha)>

<!--- loop through a to z --->
<loop from="a" to="z" index="letter">
  <!--- check "current" letter is in list of "linked" ones --->
  <if listfind(linked, letter)>
    <!--- letter that needs linking --->
    <a href="...">#letter#</a>
  <else>
    <!--- no link --->
    #letter#
  </if>
</loop>
