To answer my own posting. Simply copy(keeping correct permissions) /etc/passwd, /etc/master.passwd and /etc/group to the new system making sure you have a backup of the original if anything goes wrong. Then run pwd_mkdb -p /etc/passwd which will update /etc/pwd.db, spwd.db. I then rsync'ed all home directories and all is well.
