Indeed.

Perhaps.
This may or may not help, but here is the Makefile from /var/yp on our NIS
primary. You'll likely need to scroll down and extract our amd.home rules
from it and integrate that into yours.
After that is the rc.conf entries for amd
Good luck.

# This Makefile should only be run on the NIS master server of a domain.
# All updated maps will be pushed to all NIS slave servers listed in the
# /var/yp/ypservers file. Please make sure that the hostnames of all
# NIS servers in your domain are listed in /var/yp/ypservers.
#
# This Makefile can be modified to support more NIS maps if desired.
#
# If this machine is an NIS master, comment out this next line so
# that changes to the NIS maps can be propagated to the slave servers.
# (By default we assume that we are only serving a small domain with
# only one server.)
#
#NOPUSH = "False"
# If you want to use a FreeBSD NIS server to serve non-FreeBSD clients
# (i.e. clients who expect the password field in the passwd maps to be
# valid) then uncomment this line. This will cause $YPDIR/passwd to
# be generated with valid password fields. This is insecure: FreeBSD
# normally only serves the master.passwd maps (which have real encrypted
# passwords in them) to the superuser on other FreeBSD machines, but
# non-FreeBSD clients (e.g. SunOS, Solaris (without NIS+), IRIX, HP-UX,
# etc...) will only work properly in 'unsecure' mode.
#
UNSECURE = "True"
# The following line encodes the YP_INTERDOMAIN key into the hosts.byname
# and hosts.byaddr maps so that ypserv(8) will do DNS lookups to resolve
# hosts not in the current domain. Commenting this line out will disable
# the DNS lookups.

# Normally, the master.passwd.* maps are guarded against access from
# non-privileged users. By commenting out the following line, the YP_SECURE
# key will be removed from these maps, allowing anyone to access them.
