The question now is this...I see a switch for pwd_mkdb which is "-p",
meaning generate a /etc/passwd file.  Going forward, when manually adding a
new user to /etc/master.passwd, am I now to issue "pwd_mkdb -p <file>" to
properly update /etc/passwd at the same time?  Seems to me this is the thing
to do, however it's my first time really messing with this sort of thing...

Set $EDITOR properly, and run "vipw".

That program will let you edit the password file and then update the other system-specific password databases correctly.
