I would like to use the "xmax" column to detect rows that have been

since I last checked?

No.  Maybe you want a trigger that saves the deleted row somewhere (a
separate table perhaps) which you can later inspect and delete again?

If that is what you need then PgQ might be a good solution. But it'll be a lot simpler to just do whatever you need to do when the row is actually deleted. Just be sure you deal with rollbacks correctly if you're doing something external.
