The easiest way might be to install from a package suitable to your 
operating system.

You need the SD, which includes bextract.

Otherwise, you'll have to install from source, i.e. ./configure && 
make at least.

Obviously, you won't need the client or console programs, but for the 
SD programs to build you do need the database development packages.

It might even be possible to only build bextract, but if you knew how 
  to find ot the reuired steps from the Makefile you wouldn't have 
asked :-)

Yes.

You need the SD.

Why can't you use the packages that are available through the 
bacula.org site?

It is... basically, as easy as installing Bacula :-)
