I've got a good idea of what needs to be done when it is built w/o PAM, but when PAM comes into play, it gets tricky. In regards to the GLEP 27 stuff in general, I have a project which is still at a fairly alpha level, but I would appreciate contributions of auth system helper scripts for any and all architectures / userlands. I've written up some documentation with some examples [1]. Also, I'd appreciate folks who know packages well (like apache, etc) writing the proper user/group data files for them (this format is also documented[2]). For those a little more curious about how this system will ultimately integrate with portage and other package managers, you may wish to take a look at my API specifications[3] (now with flow charts!). Or, for those who are IRC-inclined, feel free to join me in #dynusers on freenode. I'll work on getting a more unified / up-to-date webpage[4] together about his project later this week.
