It would only take a small amount of Makefile magic to fix
this... something like:

PASSWD?=        /etc/passwd
GROUP?=         /etc/group

uidgid.h:       ${PASSWD} ${GROUP}
        perl -ne 'split(/:/); print ("#define\tUID_", uc($_[0]), "\t", \
                                     $_[2], "\n");' ${PASSWD} >${.TARGET}
        perl -ne 'split(/:/); print ("#define\tGID_", uc($_[0]), "\t", \
                                     $_[2], "\n");' ${GROUP} >>${.TARGET}

...add this to <bsd.kmod.mk> and include "uidgid.h" as necessary in
source files.
