I presume your on a BSD system?  If so it's your lucky day ;) I just
worked on this the other day.  I wound up having to give up on PAM
because the PAM module the author used uses Linux specific add-ons to
PAM and won't work on BSD.  I'm already using Dovecot SASL for postfix
so I just pointed pysieved at the same socket postfix uses and told it
to use dovecot for auth and storage and passwd for userdb.  If you do
this though there are a couple of patches to apply as well.

If this is for a FreeBSD system I was considering wrapping it up into an
actual port and submitting it, if you would use it I might actually get
around to doing it.

Hope this helps,
Jonathan
