You read the pw(8) manpage, in which it states:
-d dir This option sets the account's home directory. Normally,
you will only use this if the home directory is to be
different from the default determined from /etc/pw.conf -
normally /home with the account name as a subdirectory.
-k dir Set the skeleton directory, from which basic startup
and configuration files are copied when the user's home
directory is created. This option only has meaning when
used with the -d or -m flags.
