Damn, I spoke too soon. Just re-synced, and now this pops in the
Changelog for pam

  10 Feb 2008; Diego Petten<C3><B2> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> pam-0.99.8.1-r1.ebuild, 
pam-0.99.9.0.ebuild:
      Remove dependency over pwdb, pam_pwdb is no more present in PAM 0.99, so 
the dependency was bogus.

So, yeah, pwdb is not a dependency anymore and people can safely
remove it.
