Sure,
cat /etc/master.passwd | awk -F: {printf("%s:%s\n", $1, $2)}
But I wouldn't necessarily recommend it. At the very least
delete your system and "important" logins. It is discouraged
to use of the same passwords in .htpasswd files that protect
meaningful or priveledged shell accounts because rouge
server cgi's can get stored passwords from the password cache.
