that wouldn't work for multiple reasons.  You would need permissions to overwrite /etc, and PAM modules in general don't follow symlinks, for obvious reasons.  There really is nothing to worry about making a directory in /tmp for quick mounts and unmounts.  Heck, thats where I put all my NFS mounts.
