pam_run will run anything that you tell it to.  If it is to run
something graphical then naturally this process will need to know how to 
get into the state where it can actually display things to screen - 
depending on your setup this may be trivial, or it may be complex.

Also, naturally, you'd need to write this GUI.

I would have thought that the easiest thing would be for it to create
the account on the fly without asking any questions, but I don't know the
nature of the situation for you.
