You can use the -h option to read the password from a file descriptor if you're planning on scripting pw (e.g. -h 0 to read from stdin). You can also specify the -k <dir> option to tell pw what skeleton directory you want from which startup files will be copied. Then, by specifying the -m option, you tell pw to create the user's home directory. This will also populate the new home directory with the skeleton files in the directory specified by -k. This is all in the man page on pw.
