Yeah, time for waiting. I happen to know a bit of what's going on (I skim the Gentoo git log daily and read gentoo-dev), so here's a recap (from memory, so I might get a detail or two wrong): The virtual was there for the Gentoo BSD profile(s?), which had their own PAM implementation, and which were recently removed (they were horribly outdated and apparently nobody is working on the Gentoo/BSD project anymore). Because of that, sys-libs/pam is now the only provider of the virtual and is replacing it in *DEPENDS. That makes the virtual redundant, so the last step is to remove it. Apparently not everything has been moved over yet, or maybe some stabilizations are still not finished, in any case I wouldn't worry about it, it might be resolved by the next sync.
