Sigma DP1 has a 5.0MP APS-C (20.7 x 13.8 mm ) sized CMOS (Foveon X3) sensor . On the other hand, Leica D-Lux Typ 109 has a 13.0MP Four Thirds (17.3 x 13 mm ) sized CMOS sensor .
Leica D-Lux Typ 109's sensor provides 8MP more than Sigma DP1's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
Below you can see the DP1 and D-Lux Typ 109 sensor size comparison.

Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Sigma DP1 and Leica D-Lux Typ 109 Cameras
As seen above, Sigma DP1 has a 1.3x Larger sensor area than Leica D-Lux Typ 109. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
