You'll have to tell us what those options mean before we can tell you
whether there is an equivalent.  You don't need to copy
/var/yp/master.passwd to edit it; just make the change and run "make". 
If you want the ability to script changes, use the pw command with the
flags "-V /var/yp -y", tells it to manipulate the NIS passwd files
instead of the ones in /etc and to run "make" automatically.
