Neither in OpenBSD. But there's useradd/userdel utils
in NetBSD though:
  http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?useradd
  http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?userdel+8

former being rather similar to its shadow counterpart.

In AIX there's mkuser/rmuser instead.
  http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/pseries/topic/com.ibm.aix.doc/cmds/aixcmds3/mkuser.htm

P.S. I think we should not expect a user to expect ;)
any similarity between useradd/userdel tools across
different Unices at all.
