Ah, so they have both BSD auth *and* PAM. It seems that PAM is
the default though (from login.conf on my FreeBSD box):

# NAME
# login.conf - login class capability database
#
# SYNOPSIS
# /etc/login.conf, ~/.login_conf
#
# DESCRIPTION
# login.conf contains various attributes and capabilities of login classes.
# A login class (an optional annotation against each record in the user ac-
# count database, /etc/master.passwd) determines session accounting, re-
# source limits and user environment settings. It is used by various pro-
# grams in the system to set up a user's login environment and to enforce
# policy, accounting and administrative restrictions. It also provides the
# means by which users are able to be authenticated to the system and the
# types of authentication available.
