I disagree.

Everything should use PAM by default. It's why it was invented: so
that all authentication goes through one mechanism. If you then want
to add/take away something, you only have to do it in one place.

If, as a matter of policy/preference, you want to change things
locally there should be a make.conf setting of some kind.

What other exceptions should be made with regards to PAM? xdm(1)
perhaps? telnetd(8)?
