You have to be set up using DES passwords on your FreeBSD system.
There's a FAQ entry that tells you how to do this, I believe.
Once you've done that, use a script like this, which will print out
the freebsd-style master.passwd file. Don't forget to run pwd_mkdb
afterwords.

$shadow = "/etc/shadow";
$passwd = "/etc/passwd";
$output = "npasswd";
umask 077;
open(SHADOW, $shadow) || die "Could not open shadow file\n";
while (<SHADOW>) {
($name, $enc) = split(/:/);
$PASS{$name} = $enc;
}
close(SHADOW);
open(PASSWD, $passwd) || die "Could not open passwd file\n";
open(OUT, ">$output") || die "Could not open output file\n";
while (<PASSWD>) {
chop;
($uname, $blah, $uid, $gid, $gecos, $homedir, $shell) = split(/:/);
printf(OUT "%s:%s:%d:%d::0:0:%s:%s:%s\n",
$uname, $PASS{$uname}, $uid, $gid, $gecos, $homedir, $shell);
}
