Actually, don't do that. Alan gave the right answer, but it seems that my portage tree was just a few days out of date. flameeyes just removed the dependency for pwdb from pam. (See my other reply for the message. So this might actually explain why depclean and equery depends gave you different answers: one was reading the new entry for pam in the tree, and one was reading the old entry for (the same version... why didn't they bump the version?) pam in /var/db. And since the version was not bumped, your emerge --update world or whatever did not think to rebuild pam (and copy the new ebuild to /var/db).... A weird incident at that.
