You could try checking /etc/adduser.conf perhaps there's an option in
there to specify the password hashing method.  I have a feeling it doesn't
support other password hashing methods for some reason, but I may be
wrong.

Instead you may want to use the 'pw' utility:

pw adduser

which I believe adheres to the password hashing method you specify for
the system.
