Would it be-better/help if kdm.log was in /var/log/kdm/ dir instead of
/var/log/ directly?

Ordinarily yes, but in this case it does not matter. The problem is a
redirection of stdout to the log file and pam_console_t does not have
permission to write there. So it generates an avc when it starts
pam_console. pam_console runs anyways and completes.
