Using the latest pam.d/xserver there should be no password prompt at all:

$ ident /etc/pam.d/xserver                                                     
/etc/pam.d/xserver:
     $NetBSD: xserver,v 1.2 2005/03/03 04:21:51 christos Exp $
$ grep ^auth /etc/pam.d/xserver
auth            sufficient      pam_self.so
