As far as I know, this support isn't complete yet. Specifically, there don't exist /usr/libexec/login_* modules yet. So, for now this isn't an option. Maybe some day somebody will write or port the missing pieces... Correct me, please, if I'm wrong. On the same subject: as I perceive it, there are quite a few options of doing authentication in FreeBSD, this way or the other, and some mysterious hooks to nonexistent pieces of code. Some people prefer login.conf, and others try to port the PAM modules. IMHO, this subject lacks overall coordination... and perhaps some efforts are spent on implementing mutually exlusive architectures...
