And you have them all in one installation?
I know of nobody working on the auth services, but the services 
architecture is quite flexible: Dependent on the return value of a 
service, other auth service can be checked, too. Of course, this asks 
all auth services, until a user can be authenticated (which might be a 
bit slow and users might (haven't thought too much) on sites, which they 
shouldn't be able to login..).

But there's also a pre-check (isAvailable() IIRC). You could modify the 
services to decide at this stage, whether they are currently available 
or not (by checking the SERVER_NAME against a configuration value. This 
way, only the services you want to be available will be available.

Kind regards
