I had this exact same problem yesterday.. couldnt log into KDE either.. it was 
indeeed pam.. the culprit was /etc/pam.d/login.. for some reason (I dont 
recall if i updated these files recently with etc-update), the file was using 
the pam module pam_unix2.so (which didnt exist on my system), switched it 
back to pam_unix.so and all my problems were solved.. hope this helps
