rpm -qpl pam_krb5 | grep bin
/usr/bin/afs5log

rpm -qpl pam_mount | grep bin
/usr/bin/autoehd
/usr/bin/mkehd
/usr/bin/mount.crypt
/usr/bin/mount_ehd
/usr/bin/passwdehd
/usr/bin/umount.crypt
/usr/sbin/pmvarrun

So normally, all pam_* binaries, that don't belong to the base pam 
package, are not install ind /bin or /sbin.

Also the pam_abl binary is not needed at boot-time, where a possible 
nfs-mounted /usr partion get's mounted, so no need to put it in /sbin...

But it's a cosmetic/design decision, isn't it? :-)

Best,
