Nope, pam-config has no problem in this case, because pam-config detects that it is a pure 32bit system and that it does not need 64bit and 32bit PAM modules. But RPM does not know about such "weak" dependencies, there you can only depend packages or not. And if you have a 64bit POWER system, you need the hard dependencies to be able to login.
