It looks like xdm is configured with PAM support, but PAM is not found.
You can solve this by:

1) Installing PAM development package (thats the headers).
2) Configuring xmd to build without PAM, I do not remember how XFree86
did it. But the usual way is ./configure --without-pam or something like
that. probably in a readme somewhere, or ./configure --help

The dangerous path is to modify the makefile and remove -DUSE_PAM from
it. Dangerous because you can not be sure if you found them all. So if
possible, rerun configure or similar.

You dont say! ;-)

Anyway, about the missing directory. Do write a bug rapport of it and
send it to XFree.org. Its best that they fix their scripts (if is was
their script that is).
