Josh, The useradd provider doesn't support setting passwords without ruby libshadow on any platform.
In 0.24.7, there is a user_role_add provider for Solaris that can set hashed passwords and also manage Solaris RBAC. You could upgrade, or you could try just patching it in. (I think you need the provider, a patch to user type, and a utility file to handle the user attributes for RBAC.)
