By the way, X11 and Oracle (client) is similar in that it depends on the underlying system X11 components and does not install them itself.
I'll just stick my neck out and say what I think. Neither pam-devel nor x11-devel belong in a list of OpenPKG requirements. The bootstrap package builds fine without them, and pam-devel and x11-devel (and maybe a few others) are specific requirements to those two or three 'information resource' OpenPKG packages. I've modified their error output (which you saw) to be more helpful in tracking such problems in the future. It should be clear to an admin now that he must have working installations of the underlying PAM and/or X11 components before building the corresponding OpenPKG packages.
