It probably doesn't matter where the PAM package is installed, because
by itself it doesn't "do" anything.  It only becomes useful when you
link programs requiring authentication of some sort against the PAM
libraries, so you can configure their authentication via the various
PAM modules.  None of the native NetBSD programs that require 
authentication need PAM.  If you want them to use PAM, you'll either
have to re-compile accordingly, or (more likely) replace them with
"PAM-aware" versions.
