After more googling, I found this page which describes exactly what
I'm trying to do:

https://github.com/constanze/GSoC2010_Gentoo_Capabilities/wiki/pam_cap-on-gentoo

Except it doesn't work: after modifying /etc/pam.d/system-auth and
/etc/security/capability.conf as indicated and logging out/in, pscap
shows no cap_net_raw for the user in question, and trying to run
programs that use RAW sockets fail:

 socket: Operation not permitted
 Error opening socket: Operation not permitted
 
I'm apparently missing something...
