D9 Suggestion:
E---- .014p
C#--- .017p
F#--- .012p
D---- .015p
A---- .020p
F#--- .022w
E---- .028w
D---- .034w
C---- .036w
A---- .040w
I think this would be pretty close, for a start!

Here are the string gauges I'm using on my D6/G, which has 5 of the D9th strings (shown in red):
F# .013
D .015
B .018
A .020
F# .026
D .034
B .038
G .050
I have the E9th pulls on those strings, so I'm sure they'd work for your D9th.
