If memory serves me right, depending on how the passwords are encrypted on your PPC box you "should" be able to just copy the passwd field from your shadow file and plunk them into your master passwd file on your BSD box. If you have a lot of users this may be tedious, but should work if the password was hashed using DES or MD5 . Of course, you probably want to change paths to shells and homedirs, etc... as well.
