This seems to do the trick:

/usr/bin/awk '
BEGIN {
    xlat["files"] = "hosts";
    xlat["dns"] = "bind";
    xlat["nis"] = "nis";
}
/^hosts:/ {
    print "# Auto-generated, do not edit";
    for (n = 2; n <= NF; ++n)
        if ($n in xlat)
            print xlat[$n];
    quit;
}
// {
    next;
}
' /etc/nsswitch.conf >/etc/host.conf
