Package dependencies can sometimes be overly strict. You may be able to
get away with building your own libpq++ from the latest sources (see gborg)
and installing that version.

There is libpqxx, but it's a completely new API--not a drop-in replacement
for libpq++. It's more flexible than libpq++ in most ways, so porting your
code shouldn't be too difficult if it's relatively straightforward stuff.

You can find libpqxx at http://pqxx.tk/
