High charisma isn't the end-all be-all stat a hexblade needs to be effective.
Most of their spells are defensive in nature anyway. High enough to cast the spells you want is high enough. Hexblade Curse is, most of the time, a "C'mon, roll a 1" ability, or a 5% chance ability.

From an optimization standpoint, Hexblades are good for one of two things.
1. A three level dip for Arcane Resistance and Mettle.
2. Single classed ONLY far enough to get an Improved Familiar (Worg) and create a mounted charging character.
Therefore, you need to look at what you want the PC to do. If you want a single classed Hexblade, then you'll probably want a mounted, mobile charger that rides a hardcore combat familiar and plays as a frontline fighter. In this case, any race that provides a decent "Fighter" race will work.
In all honesty, just choose a race that doesn't take a penalty to Con or Str and you should be fine.
