It seems libpam is thread safe under solaris, according to the man page:

NOTES
     The interfaces in libpam are MT-Safe  only  if  each  thread
     within  the  multithreaded application uses its own PAM han-
     dle.

And saslauthd use a new pam handle for each authentication so it should
be ok.

This note is also present in each pam module man page.
