USE="-pam" emerge @system will avoid that particular block, although it
may only get you as far as the next one.
I seem to get an error like this from whatever I try to emerge. Is
untarring a stage3 my only option?

You don't have to do the entire stage3 at once,
http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/
has precompiled packages for the major arches and profiles. You could
try to replace just pambase, pam, python, etc. -- whatever's giving you
trouble.
This was not my first recommendation because I've managed to break e.g.
`tar` and `cp` before in the attempt at which point you have two rescues
to attempt.
