Mark, As long as you make sure to install the descrypt libraries when you install FreeBSD, you should have no problems simply copying /etc/master.passwd to the new FreeBSD box and running pwd_mkdb to generate the hashed db files and /etc/passwd. The format of BSDi master.passwd and FreeBSD master.passwd is identical, assuming you are using DES crypt on FreeBSD rather than MD5 crypt.
