What i am looking for is just the login manager and its dependecies and not the entire DE. I assume kdm does the same thing.
If you can cope with GTK+3 being pulled, try LightDM

You don't need gtk3 to use lightdm, it depends on the "greeter": https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/lightdm-gtk2- greeter/
IIRC I used some default greeter, before I installed a greeter. I guess it's possible to get some simple greeter, without installing an additional greeter.
It failed to work without a greeter. I installed lightdm-gtk3-greeter and now it is working. This greeter does not bring in lot of dependencies as in the case of gdm. The dependecies for this package are just lightdm and gtk. Only issue i am seeing is icon are missing and it shows a `x` in its place. I see it has xdmcp support (cool). Thanks for all for showing me lightdm. with regards, ashwin
