Jerry, I've got a situation similar to yours. I'm using pam with kde and
not having any issues at all, even across boxen.
Rather than looking at your world as "how do I remove pam?", why not look at
it as "if it's not broke don't fix it."
Leave pam et. Al in place until you actually encounter a situation where
it's failing.
