It is not recommended to install full DirectX, even with winetricks. What you can do is set up a specific wineprefix for DirectX so you can hand-pick the DLLs you require for various games/applications. You can do this by running:
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-dx9 /path/to/winetricks directx9
Then, whenever you need a d3dx9_##.dll, you can copy it from ~/.wine-dx9/drive_c/windows/system32/ into your normal drive_c/windows/system32, or the directory of the application that requires it.
