quick answer, ignore all the "extra columns" and set the base faction to something very negative (like -1500).
the R_xxx and D_xxx and C_xxx columns are for race/diety/class specific modifiers (e.g. i dont like you, but since you worship bertoxx, i'll consider you dubiously rather than threateningly).
since there isnt a way to raise or lower faction with PoN residence, you can just create a faction if your DB doesnt have one, and attach it to the npc_types via the faction join tables (iirc, there is a 4 table join between a mob, their faction entry, its primary faction, and mods for killing them/others related).
look at how npc_types, npc_faction, npc_faction_entries, and faction_list.
again, since the PoN is a trivial case (everything is either a quest npc or a KoS mob) you can just ignore npc_faction_entries because killing stuff wont raise or lower your faction.
thus you would need a faction_list entry for something like "KoS PoN residents" or something similar, if there isnt one already. then create a npc_faction entry that links to that faction_list entry (primary_faction column). then edit the npc_types table, setting the npc_faction_id column to the npc_faction entry that corresponds. you dont have to take the (usual) inefficient 1 npc_faction per npc_type route in this case because you dont have to handle special quest cases or some-such.
