Problem is, smb requires a '$' at the end of the username, which our

The same patch which you proposed was suggested on the freebsd-current list.
See the thread "pw_user.c change for samba":

I'm not sure what the outcome of the discussion was.
The short-term outcome was that we were surprised to find out that
the adduser script in 5-current was still using perl, and that there
were some other perl scripts still in the base system. This was much
more urgent to address than the $ in user-names.
My intention was to write an update to allow $ as the last character
in a userid and groupid, once we settled on a new version of adduser.
I still have that around somewhere. I should look into that again.
