You can not use PAM without NSS. This is because PAM is designed for
authentication of UNIX users.

You may be able to cook up a native Squid authentication helper for
kerberos, avoiding the need for both PAM and NSS. All you need is
something which can answer the question if a given login+password is
correct or not.
