i think that is non-trivial since pam enabled programs are linked to
the pam libraries:

[eb@socrates eb]$ ldd /bin/login
        libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x0ffb3000)
        libpam.so.0 => /lib/libpam.so.0 (0x0ff8b000)
        libpam_misc.so.0 => /lib/libpam_misc.so.0 (0x0ff69000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x0ff46000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x0fe30000)
        /lib/ld.so.1 => /lib/ld.so.1 (0x30000000)

removing pam would effectivly break nearly everything.  

i am curious as to why you really need to remove pam though?  debian
default config for pam is pretty much standard unix, you should not
really see any difference.
