I'm not a dev, but I believe that what you're saying is already true in 
GoboLinux.
The same happens with aclocal files, which are all added to the 
/S/L/Shared/aclocal folder, so that every program has its own subdir 
inside it. I think that pam would work the same way:  a program would 
add its scripts in its own Settings/pam.d folder and then this would be 
linked against /S/S/pam.d, resulting in a new symlink within it, 
pointing at the program folder.
But maybe this is valid for the Shared tree only.

Bye
