There's some icompatibility issue with OpenPAM which I didn't look much into but it helps to remove USE_PAM. You don't have to tell the vlock you're using shadow passwords because FreeBSD's getpwent(3) returns password to the program run by root automatically. To run the program as root you must make sure it's owned by root and has suid bit set (or always run it as root). This easily may be security hole if there's bug in the program.
