Well, the docs page on the upgrade to pam-0.99 is complete, I updated 
severala machines no problem with it. So you must have muffed the 
instructions. Next time, read the whole page.

Meanwhile, boot off a LiveCD or some other medium. or maintenance mode, 
chroot into gentoo and find all packages that depend on pam:

equery depends pam
or maybe
euse -i pam

then re-emerge all those packages. Don't think that revdep-rebuild will 
fix this for you, it probably won't as it's not a linking issue you 
have.
