You may not need this. Unfortunately, the HaikuPorts repository is not just for you. It's for everybody. And now the community is likely stuck with a version of Sigil that is missing one of it its more popular and useful features: the ability to extend its capabilities yourself.

Sorry. You're mistaken. The need for python is not solely based on supporting plugins. Sigil itself requires embedded python to function. Removing plugins would not remove the need for python.

But I'm done here. You clearly got what you wanted. I can only hope someone comes along who's interested in actually finishing the job that was started.

Plugin support for Sigil can be enabled on Haiku with the most trivial of efforts. I did it with about 10 minutes of work on an OS I knew absolutely nothing about. So there's simply no reason whatsoever for the repo version not to include that feature as well.
