How old is your pw?  A race condition was reported and fixed in PR
bin/6787 (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=6787).  The
patches went into -stable and -current on July 16th or so.

As far as pwd_mkdb taking too long you might try to increase the cache
size that it uses.  Doing that reduced our password file rebuild times
from a minute or so down to a second to two.
