Most of the interfaces of PAM deal with data manipulation and retrieval and there is no straightforward SIP mapping to these methods.You can implement few of the PAM interfaces using SIMPLE but not many - but you will be breaking semantics!. 
There was a plan in the PAM forum to describe ways of mapping between SIP and PAM but I dont know the details.

Subject: [Sip] SIP and PAM

Hi 
Just wondering if there is any thought on using SIP with the PAM specification. I know SIMPLE is obviously similar and better when using SIP but PAM brings alot more with it than just presence. PAM as you know allows for the retreival, from some sort of database system, of a users preferences, lists of assigned agents, personal information etc. Can SIP provide these sort of information retreival without implementing some sort of PAM interface or is it a viable implementation to couple SIP/SIMPLE with PAM.
