I just want to add that the developer flameyes has blogged about this issue:
http://planet.gentoo.org/developers/flameeyes/2006/03/19/the_shadow_and_pam_login_conflict
One of the comments rather sensibly suggests to use the following
command instead (collision protection will be disabled which allows
the order to be reversed and thus, there is no danger of losing
/bin/login at any time during the procedure):
FEATURES=-collision-protect emerge --nodeps shadow && emerge --unmerge pam-login
