It obviously uses NSS. How else could it be so bloated? :
$ ls -l /sbin/init -r-x------ 1 root wheel 453348 Nov 18 10:30 /sbin/init
I believe it's actually DNS, not NSS.
Pre-5.0, the resolver ballooned significantly. A lot of the bloat in /bin and /sbin came from the NIS functions which in turn pull in the resolver.
Example: /bin/date on 5.1 is also over 450k because of a single call to getservbyname(). Removing that one call shrinks a static /bin/date to a quite reasonable size. (I seem to recall 80k when I did this experiment.)
I note that /sbin/init calls getpwnam(); I expect that's where the bloat gets pulled in.
