Pari's p-adics assume that p is prime (by design). To work with
"n-adics" for composite n, you will have to implement required
functions by hand, using integers and modular arithmetic.

From the standard definition using inverse limits Z_n = \projlim_k Z / n^k Z
you get Z_n ~ \prod_{p | n, p prime} Z_p. Thus, depending on your application,
you might reduce to ordinary p-adics and CRT.
