I don't know what pam_pwdfile is but I expect it to work like every other
PAM method. In that case, it should be quite easy. No special settings are
required for cyrus.conf, just select one of the examples, normal.conf or
prefork. For imapd.conf, the following auth options should do it:

sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd
sasl_mech_list: PLAIN

Of course you have to configure the different PAM services which Cyrus
IMAP uses, like lmtp, imap, pop, sieve.
