If it's a user representing a human being, then IPS really won't work well for it, especially on removal. A number of people have tried it in the past, and it just ends up being very messy. You're better off using one of the configuration managers like puppet or chef. If it's just a uid for a daemon to use, then the user action should be sufficient. See the developer guide or the pkg(5) man page.
