Not _could_, but _should_. Currently pam_ldap requires nss_ldap, that
is not in the repos no more (not only not rebuilt, but absent....)
And if mcc/drakxtools can be used to configure ldap, migrate everything
to nss-pam-ldapd...

bran:~# urpmi pam_ldap
A requested package cannot be installed:
pam_ldap-186-4.mga3.i586 (due to unsatisfied nss_ldap[>= 217])
Continue installation anyway? (Y/n)
While some packages may have been installed, there were failures.
