I'm not sure that this is possible.  It's possible to do SecurityAgent
authentication from PAM-enabled programs (with pam_securityserver.so),
but I've found no indication that there's a way to do the reverse.
Certainly none of the usual suspects (loginwindow, SecurityServer,
SecurityAgent, etc...) link against the PAM libraries.

I think that loginwindow authentication is pluggable only with
Security Agent plugins.  I suppose you could write such a plugin that
did PAM, but the API here looks even harder to reverse-engineer than
most private Apple APIs (it appears to be C++).
