On the positive side: it's possible. I've done a quick hack to test PAM integration about a year ago. It seemed to work but I didn't finish it at the time, and I don't have it around anymore. It only took me some 3-4 days anyway, easy to reconstruct. On the negative side: you will now have to make sure that the ID the external database returns has meaning in the midgard database (synchronizing the essential person data), and mgd_get_article will return empty, bogus or out-of-date stuff for the author name unless you keep the two synchronized.
