man pw(8).

There is information about doing this. The -Y option is what you will
need but you also need to make sure it knows where master.passwd is,
either in /etc or /var/yp for instance. I keep mine in /var/yp so I set
up /etc/pw.conf to have the entry "nispasswd /var/yp/master.passwd".

You could then do something like "pw useradd [options] -Y"

Hope this helps.
