What are you using PAM against? LDAP, NT, ...?

If there are no PAM group tools for auth source, one option I use is to keep
a text file updated with group members via a cron job and use pam_listfile
to limit who gets access.

The better option for squid is to upgrade to Squid 2.5 and use the new
external external_acl helpers. 2.5 comes "out of the box" with NT, LDAP,
and unix group helpers. Writing a perl helper for anything else is pretty
trivial.
