I'd rather do it now if this is an important feature but only if we can 
do this without inventing a new schema (or extending an existing one).

Part of the reason for including the variable expansion was to allow for 
this type of configuration.

See my other reply where I mentioned having an RBAC profile to store the 
list of auths.  I believe that would help solve this since the profile 
can be stored in files, NIS, NIS+, LDAP.  That should mean that the only 
config you have to do on a host is specify the name of the RBAC profile 
as a module argument to pam_authorized and the rest of the policy can be 
in the nameservice.
