If you don't mind learning a new language, check out Expect. Its
an extention to TCL that allows the language to script/automate command
line programs such as the adduser command.
Alternately, look at man 8 pw and /usr/share/skel. These should
get you started. Once upon a time, I took the adduser script that came
with FreeBSD and was written in perl (in C now) and hacked it to do what I
wanted. You could take that approach, too.
Good luck,
Jaime
