vulnerable. OpenPKG installations are only affected if the package was built with option "with_pam" set to "yes" -- which is not the default.Incorrect. You mean "--with-pam" in ./configure (not default) or "UsePam yes" (default, before 3.7.1p2) in sshd_config. Neither of these options is called "use_pam".
Be careful, our advisory talks about the OpenPKG _package_ option "with_pam", not the GNU autoconf option "--with-pam" of the contained OpenSSH vendor source. OpenPKG source RPM packages provide "with_xxx" options which can be set to "yes" or "no" on the command line during package build ("rpm --rebuild --define 'with_pam yes' openssh*.src.rpm") in order to build variants of binary RPMs. If you look at http://cvs.openpkg.org/openpkg-src/openssh/openssh.spec, you see that in the OpenSSH case the OpenPKG option "with_pam yes" is mapped onto --with-pam on the GNU autoconf command line later.
