If you want to have a last-hop-router, then you primarily need IGMPv3,
which is most of the issue. Then yes, you need to add some code to PIM
to have it pick up (S,G) state from IGMPv3.

If you just want to have an intermediate router, then you can even use 
an existigin PIM-SM implementation without changes. That's more or less
what happens today with the 232/8 range being run over the existing
PIM-SM infrastructure.
