The closest I've seen is using it with RADIUS. Here's an example of 
using it for authentication to wifi hotspots.

http://coova.org/wordpress/index.php/2007/06/08/openid-wifi/

"Above is the OpenID login form in CoovaAP?s embedded captive portal. 
Instead of a traditional username and password, the user?s OpenID URL is 
entered. When the form is submitted, the OpenID is sent to the RADIUS 
server (as a username). The RADIUS server, knowing that OpenID was 
turned on in access point (see below), will discover the OpenID 
authentication server for this URL and update the user?s (session 
specific) walled garden before redirecting the user to their OpenID 
server to log in and grant permission (trust) to Coova.org."

Google turns up one pam-openid client, 
http://code.google.com/p/pam-openid/, but I can't find any code. There 
is a project that does the reverse (lets you use local system accounts 
as openids) at http://trac.whitetree.org/gracie/.
