Is this a Linux system using DES encryption? If so, install the DES package on the BSD box, and use sed to reformat the Linux password file into BSD shadow password file format. Then eliminate all but the users you want to add to the BSD system from the sed output file. Then vipw the BSD password file and read in the sed output file at the end. Then save and exit. THe sed script to do this is left up to the version of Linux you are running and the sed man page. 8-).
