I guess I could have been more clear about this as well...

Files you need ( pre-prepped ):
/etc/passwd
/etc/master.passwd
/etc/pwd.db

- or -
Use /usr/bin/vi following up with /usr/sbin/pwd_mkdb

- or -

/usr/sbin/vipw

Either which way there is a man page for each and recovering a old system like 
that with even newer live media is not that hard of a task considering you 
don't need to do anything with the passwd files at all in order to mount any of 
the slices and pull whatever it is off from it directly.

PS: the utilities that are there have already been written. You have just 
wasted several years just not looking for them or using them correctly and 
would suggest that you write something if these are not satisfyingly straight 
forward enough for you.

Several years of no answer might just be the answer that was right there before 
you in the first place.
