It looks worse than it is: something must have gotten installed in /private/etc (this does seem very odd). I believe that when dpkg removes files it tries to remove the enclosing directories. If there are still files in the directories you get the warnings about nonempty directories, and nothing else gets removed.
This is expected behavior.
Newer versions of the KDE packages use the "alternatives" system for putting files in pam.d so as not to have files outside of /sw in the packages.
The older packages just put the files inside the binary package. So on upgrade, it deleted the old pam.d files, and then updated them. Since dpkg doesn't control /private/etc, it doesn't delete it (which was tested before I changed the packages around. :)
